I put on this great little homemade mask. 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IK5w4X8RN

stays, firmish, like some lone priest 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtWeZKhYJb
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQbikExiT6
who amidst those tourists419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT4iM4Cd1d
is the only one left who believes in the gods 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkBedL8mOx
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOUsBEpLbA
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27J8nSIZRk
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedqYkA3hnn
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0uydB9KZG
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz3g9l4Ybq
sheltered from rain that patters away at it419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI66gRq4uq

I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS1R2B68LX
kiss it goodbye419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZcOa10whf
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
