Rimbaud's Color Wheel

The center-word
does not hold
its color-sounds
alone

they swirl
within the sun-threads
first black then white
green then blue

until the red appears
so red that we see
gold

the danger
though is that blue
bruises black
and begins to turn
again

Why don't you Americans spell properly 'color'= 'colour' I am teasing!
I love the 'they swirl within the sun-threads' I have a clear image of such within my mind.
