Twin Sisters

Damning two lies
with only one truth
Deception remixes 
like gin and vermouth

Jumping from one
as the other got hot
Port in the storm
where perdition is fraught     

Grace in short order
 with blessings denied 
Thomas redoubting
 all faith circumscribed  

Prevarication
twin sister of pain
The Word caught between them
—trapped to remain
