I put on this great little homemade mask. 411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE50BLPRBu

cheery smiling face.

the hand holding the mask trembles but411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthPw3rDx7t
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKX8FLfYSE
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7rStDNc72
who amidst those tourists411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmhsvbnx1C
is the only one left who believes in the gods 411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7mfv8zoiQ
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwews7HXxpR
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAJR4ZFBuJ
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi1d32mNL7
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NdIGIZkIu
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwAh4GboTp
sheltered from rain that patters away at it411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kpfF8S3po
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqP4HLo3eo
when the sun comes out again,411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZUl5MUw97
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35KTVnBVpz
kiss it goodbye411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Gyjct9WN
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
