I put on this great little homemade mask. 529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeeTU540tC
cracked papier mache,529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac88sL0cAZ
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezNd5gqj14
the hand holding the mask trembles but529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNgJ96UXTb
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdCPvVADr4
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QiCj0rH6
who amidst those tourists529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5G0hxxHSD
is the only one left who believes in the gods 529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAZia5Cp0q
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqoB0Ycjcn
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLb7tbg0Uj
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixcmuv4pQW
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiQm8ulLmz
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQKOKYIIqF
sheltered from rain that patters away at it529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLedUcFRj2V
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p2siEV9kN
when the sun comes out again,529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡComBbTkv0b
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL6Wao8ZHg
kiss it goodbye529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWcetGPJx
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
