Weeping Mask

Weeping Mask

written by: Lynn White

 

The mask weeps
diamond tears,
turning ruby like
as the blood
flow starts.
Then black
like coal
as decay begins
and the mask
itself
begins to crack,
to distort
and disintegrate,
to flake away,
to disappear.
As all masks will
in the end.

Until only
the tears
remain.
