Villanelle 2

The master’s gleaming eyes
Searching through the autumn chill
Never wavered from the prize

The cunning thief ever tries
To evade, as he struggles uphill,
The master’s gleaming eyes

He tells strange and seemly lies
Seeking unseen truths but his will
Never wavered from the prize

The thief takes on a disguise
And turns and takes his fill
Of the master’s gleaming eyes

Undone are his silver lies
The master’s unnerving chill
Never wavered from the prize

Now a broken lifeless body lies
Upon the rocky craggy hill
The master’s iron eyes

Never wavered from his prize
