twins fighting in the womb
Jacob and Esau
pedagogy of egalitarianism
in which the only leaf that's turned
is a blind eye.
Jacob and the seraphim
ambiguous victory
limping up this ladder to divinity
each step a subtle slip
grasping for a destination
only to realize upon arriving
that we've stumbled into ourselves
serpent swallowing its own tail
perpetual motion of a static image
turn up the volume & drown out the
chorus
a dance without a solo
fused at the hip
only degree of separation
angle of a broken rib
ambiguous victory
