Lead

 Reflection is Eve's temptation

to clone knowledge, assume power

Cells divide to live forever, and

love was made the fuel for their quest

The two way street became the curse, at once

the snake's lure and condemning deceit 

The circle is the absolute perfection of parallels

abandoning  Eden for the pleasure of connection

The lead chiming the harmony of sparkle

is the mirror's poisonous prize
