Everyday546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsfzwvtaW2
I put on this great little homemade mask. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4uJ3FAK3Z
cracked papier mache,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN8jKTc2pR
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCjOrgbpB1
the hand holding the mask trembles but546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLmjcWbf7
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JeBHkpdbe
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhMIUSCnbg
who amidst those tourists546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAREkvo8t0w
is the only one left who believes in the gods 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEJtOs15AE
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Ur7BdKKe
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJecGqsxW2
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea8AHuoI9Q
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUKEpXHv3B
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90gMbxhQHt
sheltered from rain that patters away at it546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhCX4PRkJX
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrr3Pir3No
when the sun comes out again,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpkKH6CixA
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxcdildw4
kiss it goodbye546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRhDtELufP
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
