One thought on “Josiah Peachey: Wholly Writ”

1. what of half writ
   done in sanskrit what of
   earth speak done in house squeak
   what of all the unwritten words
   carried by the beaks of beakless birds
   how can you bind all with the speech of an unutterable wind song
   strung through the world like fishnet, a poverty in proverb
   the slow lines that evolved so well under pressure what makes your community and its book authoritative and no other, brother you sound like them west virginians with their snakes getting bit and believing every word the whole time but you dont rhyme very well with pluralism neither do you reckon with the rise and flow of other so called sacred texts that speak in other ways with similar grandiosity what do you say to that my sir or do you mean something other than the dust off the Good Book when you peal your cannons so vigorously, what is it like to hear the great bells of all true words gonged together and how can you so confidiboriously extrapolate all manner of grandiosity beyond the fingers of scribes and the reimagination of redactors into divine creativity and beyond as if the only way we come to know the truest things is by entering a text so permeable and so dubious to so many people as to warrant an intervention.
