vayishlach II

an angel pinched Yakov's sciatic nerve
and never after could he walk quite straight
from 'A' to 'B' obliged to tread a curve
and consequently always being late
but in the deal he got a second name
as if two men had married his two wives
and Esau freed him from the weight of shame
the twins had carried all throughout their lives
far from their mother's tent they'd built careers
and each could shower gifts onto the other
both moving forward, away from their fears
where he'd perceived a foe, he'd hugged a brother
yet having reconciled, they dwell apart
two brothers in two lands, 'though one in heart
