Isaac falls victim
To Jacob and Rebecca’s
Blessing stealing trick

But was Isaac fooled?
He said “the voice is Jacob’s”
Did he really know?

    “Why do I exist?”
    Rebekah wonders aloud
    for her own reasons

    a conspiracy
    between a mother & son
    to steal a blessing

    Jacob cooks lentils
    Esau wants to gulp it down
    such different brothers

    metaphorically
    we’re all Jacob, Esau,
    Rebekah, Isaac
