I put on this great little homemade mask. 475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpIfe2IKFV
cracked papier mache,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw6ivAY3Vw
cheery smiling face.

the hand holding the mask trembles but475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoTUsElL5k
stays, firmish, like some lone priest 475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjsIuPEaNL
at some abandoned temple, the frail figure 475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuKvYp4ckB
who amidst those tourists475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBjsyXJcvD
is the only one left who believes in the gods 475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVnAquqyFt
his precious church was built to exalt.

we want to get that mask off, right475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7V8P8Larp
but lost in those surging waves of inky, shrieking, metaphors475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JzoXUkkoM
and the neverending tears from a splattered brush of fingers 475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMckASzL9x
and gross bloody tendons dripping from a heart onto the carpet475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYyoESXAUb
the mask clutches me in terror.
It’d be cruel to take it off now, in this storm. I need to keep it safe475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmn24lVcpx
sheltered from rain that patters away at it475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDPBfFqmwC
—gnawing. Little sparkling fangs ripping out fibres.

I'll throw the mask away, into the fluffy air475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnGWRJ8Iai
kiss it goodbye475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiiXH3oQt3
and skip, childlike, into the warmth of something happy.
