Character Inversion
So I unfold my shield of chaos
and swirl with leaves
where eddies end,
cage each storm in a made up story,
pestle my dreams in a mortar of friends.
A clever chameleon
only walks on black and white
his tongue takes the snow flake,
hides all day, awake all night
roads are meant for crossing.
Nerves that strobe through conversations
tin foil rubbed on metal filled teeth,
beneath the smile a whirlpool waits
to swallow each day,
the management of traits.
By the time I realised
the puddle wasn't deep enough,
I was already diving
A coiled serpent
displaced inside a ripple,
only going out to come back in
shedding my skins,
expressions I plucked
to face northern winds.
