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.
