I put on this great little homemade mask. 467Please respect copyright.PENANAhF0uWVkjzB
cracked papier mache,467Please respect copyright.PENANAhCd2AYoQlD
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.467Please respect copyright.PENANAZjNthIRY8M
the hand holding the mask trembles but467Please respect copyright.PENANAARjpiBL3Bf
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 467Please respect copyright.PENANATYdMY8KhpJ
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 467Please respect copyright.PENANAKGxJYSemq4
who amidst those tourists467Please respect copyright.PENANATDqyQOlh4U
is the only one left who believes in the gods 467Please respect copyright.PENANAkerZWJo0Yn
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right467Please respect copyright.PENANAhtQTt3CrPd
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors467Please respect copyright.PENANAEbT9IeC0s4
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 467Please respect copyright.PENANAGA3sjKibSN
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet467Please respect copyright.PENANApQcHOCKAWd
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe467Please respect copyright.PENANAqzIn8Z4Mbm
sheltered from rain that patters away at it467Please respect copyright.PENANACYbv81Tc06
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,467Please respect copyright.PENANAE3HYPbF4LX
when the sun comes out again,467Please respect copyright.PENANAS8kT0kjS11
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air467Please respect copyright.PENANAvZzyGre865
kiss it goodbye467Please respect copyright.PENANAkwp2F92ZpE
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
