I put on this great little homemade mask. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSedhTh3Nd
cracked papier mache,539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdfg2vtIPQ
cheery smiling face.
^_^
and everyday you walk past.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarrjneBMjS
the hand holding the mask trembles but539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Zu8PwAdX
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PkGNy3FAc
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VGyT6iwdU
who amidst those tourists539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaiYa1Zteg
is the only one left who believes in the gods 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfN2o5Bu1B
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGMzj2rKVk
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOkBq3FacH
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy3ini0TIb
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1b7ONA8Uc
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQWSOX6CfU
sheltered from rain that patters away at it539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrPM7DjxQX
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

Maybe later, though,539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvDQk4t1xC
when the sun comes out again,539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVBUQX28bC
I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YCasrVO8U
kiss it goodbye539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VZSQVx4jG
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
