Excerpt
Behind The Mask II
What is on a mind?
Don’t we put up a façade?
And a barricade
To mask the intent
To hide behind the mask.
The things that rumble through our brains
We dare not put on screen
For all to see
Sure nakedness that splits a mind open
Bare the image
Crumpled and twisted
We draw back
Behind the mask.
