Reincarnations

Tell me, O Phoenix
Are you the same
as older versions
Are you only one
unique work of art
or a subversion?

Do fire and ash
remain neutral
to retain your core?
Do you remember
scars on the soul
or tales of yore…

your colors
Incredibly beautiful
is the composition
a fractal
or has it changed
soul of rendition?

fractals are miracles
but do those speeding,
repeating patterns
feel alive
on straight paths
with no turns?

Do they not live and die
times umpteen
crushed by the weight
of ancestral immortals?
-borrowed beauty
less than a miracle

Tell me, O Phoenix
Are you the same
as older versions
Are you only one
unique work of art
or a subversion?
