cracked papier mache,508Please respect copyright.PENANA02noxhLHUx
cheery smiling face.

and everyday you walk past.508Please respect copyright.PENANAi7iw1jZDwG
the hand holding the mask trembles but508Please respect copyright.PENANAtRuIL7ClXo
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 508Please respect copyright.PENANA8hzuaOG6JL
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 508Please respect copyright.PENANAxC6lU0ahId
who amidst those tourists508Please respect copyright.PENANAzx4TtXARvr
is the only one left who believes in the gods 508Please respect copyright.PENANA8t3ys0eEfA
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right508Please respect copyright.PENANAr0bdZjYFpp
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors508Please respect copyright.PENANA2RLL71vjRj
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 508Please respect copyright.PENANAKQjjIFbagB
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet508Please respect copyright.PENANASE1GGFx0Nr
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe508Please respect copyright.PENANAFV8ORWGVVj
sheltered from rain that patters away at it508Please respect copyright.PENANAZM5SMRibDE
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air508Please respect copyright.PENANASpYmDOdmFX
kiss it goodbye508Please respect copyright.PENANAVlg6pRSM7z
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
