I put on this great little homemade mask. 420Please respect copyright.PENANAvKCbUZA8h3
cracked papier mache,420Please respect copyright.PENANAMFQRpUkqx4
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.420Please respect copyright.PENANAWxyitEdAgA
the hand holding the mask trembles but420Please respect copyright.PENANAD7BKJY8y36
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 420Please respect copyright.PENANAQyxKU18WBd
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 420Please respect copyright.PENANA00wyNliIKH
who amidst those tourists420Please respect copyright.PENANAkmwKo97hr1
is the only one left who believes in the gods 420Please respect copyright.PENANAO3N79haqvl
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right420Please respect copyright.PENANAyqJHz4OBYk
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors420Please respect copyright.PENANAR5LKWUSdQA
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 420Please respect copyright.PENANA7THsmcEqef
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet420Please respect copyright.PENANAFMiB7pnjwF
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe420Please respect copyright.PENANActCzkFiwYW
sheltered from rain that patters away at it420Please respect copyright.PENANAXuwAF56T5M
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air420Please respect copyright.PENANABSLJijQPrX
kiss it goodbye420Please respect copyright.PENANAjmGm5C4rZC
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
