COLOR CHANGE

from known to known 
fear moves 
in a circle, like a cheetah; 

a jounery starts 
from shivers to shivers – 
when it was pouring 

the taste of sting 
ascending 
loosening beside 

between the lips 
a word strieks, 
terror spills from a naked eye, 

you move inward 
peel off the face 
the eternal shame 

of mankind, a hunger will miss 
the date with a chameleon
