and began to throw tiny hooves at me
I could see the bone, and the blood -
what tiny creatures did these come from?
The chameleon grew larger, angrier, transparent
His toothless mouth opening wider and wider
Suddenly I realized, he was only hungry so
I held him - he was only a light translucent blue then -
And he struggled
But eventually felt the firm and the warm and
became solid, green.
He reached his palms out to me,
sat on my shoulder, held on tightly.
