Godly Stones Crying Out

            Godly Stones Crying Out

 

to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness” Leviticus 16:10

The prophet’s tongue is loose.  It waggles, this

Direction, that.  It solemnizes truth,

Then censures it.  It gives Jehovah’s kiss

But then his condemnation.  God lacks ruth

About these Urim contradictions, these

Blinks, Thummim splits upon the High Priest’s chest.

The breastplate glows one way, the other.  Sleaze

In glowing messages is rendered best

By forked interpretation from the throat

That uttered oracles.  No other voice

Can nix that mouth.  A doubter is the goat

To die in Sin while righteous rocks rejoice.

  The prophetess or seer is the one,

    The only one, who has the right to stun.

Phillip Whidden
