Here is one possible way to do it:

camera {location < 0, 0, -2 >look_at  0}

light_source{<0,0,-10>rgb 1}

#declare Cy1 = cylinder{ x*-1,x*0,.25 pigment{red 1}}

#declare Cy2 = cylinder{ x* 0,x*1,.25 pigment{blue 1}}

intersection {
 object {Cy1}
  plane { x,-.125 translate y*-.25 rotate 22.5*z pigment {red 1}}
 rotate 22.5*-z translate<.125,0,0>
}

intersection {
 object {Cy2}
  plane { x,.125 translate y*-.25 inverse rotate 22.5*-z pigment {blue 1}}
 rotate 22.5*z translate x*-.125
}
