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.
