Origami Chameleon

An origami chameleon
She lay under the porch
Red, white and blue as the
Atlantic or the Tyrol sky
With 2 down please note
There are only 7 left to go
She lay under the porch
And provided a masterclass
Roll up, roll up, come view -
Techniques for the
flaying of her skin
the burning of her heart
and the drinking of her blood
See the amazing sacrifice
to the gods of rhyme and meter
See the gymnast suspended
By the narrow-edged margin
Of madness: guided by lines
on palms and paper
Please note though
There is a charge to view
This 5 star, once in a
life-time performance
(Destined never to make
Broadway or the West-End)
By the fatherless child
Who lay under the porch
Gasped for air and
Reached out to Adonai
