I put on this great little homemade mask. 540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJfS2Ot0vc
cracked papier mache,540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa7siWKCoF

the hand holding the mask trembles but540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBf4S70gAT
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6A5zZepdR
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQWKmTDHZv
who amidst those tourists540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5tAhnSl4S
is the only one left who believes in the gods 540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7NYDDVxR0
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwi8jBvD89
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelQGmaMGQg
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh49flynu9P
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC7TGBIoHK
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydGpgPCZ8J
sheltered from rain that patters away at it540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4DcvkYIJo

Maybe later, though,540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvw08RC8tP

and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
