Mask Snippets

mask

1

I wanted so much

To dismiss you

To avoid the regret

Of my heart crushed

Under the weight

Of your fictitious organs

2

I could never

Fit inside of you

A closet locked

From the inside

And I

Feared the prayers

That if answered,

Would grant me

Access

3

Superimposed

My aorta feeds

Directly into your ego

I habituate my dialogue

To your paranoia

A stranger

Growing stranger

And stranger with time

I cover the mirrors

Denying the occupancy

Of these impassive features

To my dynamic infrastructure

4

A reliable suicide

A cocoon of denial

Authored

By an autonomous pen

A hand-drawn mask

Lies or does it?

Don’t our defenses

Say just as much

About who we are

As our face unframed?

5

Is it insignificance

That I fear

The possibility

That the face behind

A well-placed mask

Is nameless

Remarkable only

In absence

6

Human or beast

It makes no difference

The greater the intellect

The more pervasive

The needs

And sometimes

The instinct

To survive

Is the instinct

That kills

=

I have a mad case of chaos head so my thoughts are all over the place
