I put on this great little homemade mask. 524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAFAakrGlA
cracked papier mache,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtimCP317a
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmxfI9ldTE
the hand holding the mask trembles but524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLWVZGJMjz
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0QkCmKIKx
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuf7rPhmSc
who amidst those tourists524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d81IaUYvf
is the only one left who believes in the gods 524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMPehZ3sya
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bZ0XUJDUx
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdueLQDWiV
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHd8e24ttP
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MPcHnKIPh
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ts2FTobgD
sheltered from rain that patters away at it524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggRxtokXRf
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qbbO3MZBs
when the sun comes out again,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j4aNhBaIZ
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMITypZV26
kiss it goodbye524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuR9pUC6uo
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
