Tangled (Jacob and Esau)

Tangled as we are,
Joined in a wrestle,
Joined at the hip,
A socket-pop at which,
We will walk separate,
Henceforth,
Forth with,
And neither of us,
An Angel,

The wrestle was not 
Until the break of day,
But eternal,
Eternal as the earth,
In love, 
In mirth,
In fire,
In birth,

Separate together,
No longer,
Forever,
Brothers,
Whatever.
