I put on this great little homemade mask. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJINIhwEfoo
cracked papier mache,476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlK4c8C7bB
cheery smiling face.

the hand holding the mask trembles but476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMUgD4SnIs
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsvghDR38r
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAUuhqqDZu
who amidst those tourists476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJJpV2t1ey
is the only one left who believes in the gods 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdMT2sSS4P
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7FxCKwYh6
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzgMano0Pa
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSO7RdE4X8
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaGvBVYmF8
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtUM2xihLw
sheltered from rain that patters away at it476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzi4jRIuDQ
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrN77N5Gtd
when the sun comes out again,476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7N3K46ykN
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRwdrZoMa8
kiss it goodbye476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FhzY7U7hU
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
