Villanelle: For One Life Lived Through Mistakes How Many Defy Death

Villanelle: For one life lived through mistakes how many defy death

                    for Greg Paul                    

For one life lived through mistakes how many defy death
For each mistake a new life blooms on the Tree of Life
Sibling souls come together to meet the first on last breath

If the original course of the first life makes a bee-line to death
Then each mistaken life takes off at an angle in equal strife
For one life lived through mistakes how many defy death

Now each individual’s life line criss-crosses the other’s birth
Who’s watching whom in Prentententoonstellung alive
Sibling souls come together to meet the first on last breath

Spinning shafts of light fissioning out of revolving depth
Dense nuclear porcupine quills jutting out on the axis of hive 
For one life lived through mistakes how many defy death

Pairs of eyes stare at image in revolving mirrors out of breath
Sandwiched between endless mirrors broken lives connive
Sibling souls come together to meet the first on last breath

Till the day the one life that never a mistake made myth
Will never his image in the mirrors reflected be alone alive
For one life lived through mistakes how many defy death
Sibling souls come together to meet the first on last breath
