The Double Flail, or Double Hook

Long-short, long-short, each crossing over one another,

Two lines fatefully intertwined

Double-crossing, shoving, flailing

From one side to the other.

The hook that pierces into your side

Has a lover so availing.

They clink and they clang and they kiss and they fight,

Each one screeching with pure joy and pure fright

As their grip digs deeper into the dermis

They will never release their deadly bite.
