I put on this great little homemade mask. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX6V02BQwu

cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYA0aBnnJP
the hand holding the mask trembles but497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6LqiDDR4h
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3SFmfxukw
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU10KxZ5fIv
who amidst those tourists497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShZil3uwRI
is the only one left who believes in the gods 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD67ptGVzL
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA0VRLHnuR
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebB3bXP4vn
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXbrDepCMg
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqelUWNDv
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfGpnpnvsy
sheltered from rain that patters away at it497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOer3WxTfX5
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPhffG6dZg
when the sun comes out again,497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXBCu2MSTL
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly4BW0Bpno
kiss it goodbye497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H8nOnTBEE
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
