I put on this great little homemade mask. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3oTxGaxa7
cracked papier mache,478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPksxEkUQx5
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI13ckw86Ao
the hand holding the mask trembles but478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKyBt7WUlY
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpHXfeLV2q
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuOyVwBxQ2
who amidst those tourists478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XxPglGW1A
is the only one left who believes in the gods 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDGBQyDLyt
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ECR7HrEj
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfe8zGqauy
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHANBCznJvD
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU8CNVRLwq
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZQP4XRgcD
sheltered from rain that patters away at it478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtHAxoniHn
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXggIdOrWL
when the sun comes out again,478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5U2aeGBGr
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2VAhcT8DI
kiss it goodbye478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3XtveWcGA
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
