I put on this great little homemade mask. 444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwNtioEice
cracked papier mache,444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgZx3NWceK
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3jeuaKRaM
the hand holding the mask trembles but444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLzxt5uHmS
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG24Ay4c5Da
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXRDfM54LK
who amidst those tourists444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPptM9V1MGq
is the only one left who believes in the gods 444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8W2C3JboN
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQdQFMXIlg
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoslGYc9EG
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJkfxBKjb
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTZ5JRIvRW
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvDMOdQgz
sheltered from rain that patters away at it444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpR07FYc4M
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OlbhlTLgo
when the sun comes out again,444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7dHqoPDc8
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYClYNCJN2
kiss it goodbye444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6sfQO84Ks
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
