fling far the highest held stone

when you quote from the Bible at large,
you never get it right. One distorted syllable
creates havoc, my love.

oral tradition is mere
broken telephone, a game
played so lightly
with fatal flaws.

I am searching for that perfect
word in any shape or texture
to describe a tongue flung far.

ripped from its swollen roots,
it flaps flat and sour.
