i made one as a child of ten
with tinted blues and mellow greens
heartfelt reds
and everytime i twisted it there would be
a miniature crash; a universe of patterns
unturning and renewing
morphing into new creatures
of coloured fragility.
i am a wheel of colours and patterns
that has a hundred thousand
counterfeit faces
when i need a change i urge
a miniature crash; flesh and blood churns
i rip off my face
wear a new one
a secret chameleon.
