A villanelle for my friends out saving the world

For the last of April's daily poem prompts, the inspiration was "rest area". After attending a reading where the featured poet was selling a book of villanelles she had curated, I decided I ought to write one, which is shared below so at least some of the people I had in mind will see it, even if some of them will not.

( villanelle is almost as hard to spell as it is to write one )
