inside the golden masque,
demogogue,
Midas touch embalmed
Tutankhan,
holy of holies,
blasphemes.
slow poison, sacrifice
seals sky & hay,
a thousand faces,
a corn doll, peasants
trample on. inside
the golden masque,
fear, grief, poison in relief.

Very esoteric is the first feeling of "Golden Masque", but the answer comes clear as one re-reads through its lines.
May You, Poet Robin Ouzman Hislop enjoy a Memorable Season.
