I put on this great little homemade mask. 479Please respect copyright.PENANAJmTIupdDdV
cracked papier mache,479Please respect copyright.PENANAZWH6u6HNGv
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.479Please respect copyright.PENANAoBjmv5lfJG
the hand holding the mask trembles but479Please respect copyright.PENANA0TXvA4K5O9
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 479Please respect copyright.PENANA1obG7dlahg
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 479Please respect copyright.PENANADDANAEgAFQ
who amidst those tourists479Please respect copyright.PENANATUz4EckyB3
is the only one left who believes in the gods 479Please respect copyright.PENANAvGNPfiA0Zc
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right479Please respect copyright.PENANAemMfJX34FR
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors479Please respect copyright.PENANAmJYcPjrUMu
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 479Please respect copyright.PENANAlE8EatRHxQ
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet479Please respect copyright.PENANAYK1QAPoGzz
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe479Please respect copyright.PENANAy0ZoxbirOS
sheltered from rain that patters away at it479Please respect copyright.PENANAN3QBR79S8q
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,479Please respect copyright.PENANABalZ2r9IwS
when the sun comes out again,479Please respect copyright.PENANA4dLahUjY28
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air479Please respect copyright.PENANA6lf9r3XxHv
kiss it goodbye479Please respect copyright.PENANAHR2tDwvla0
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
