masquerade,
a kind of double entendre,
anonymity’s humor,
phantoms that project
hidden desires,
masquerading intention,
playing with fire
the costumes you wear,
are they your own?
who are you without the mask?
a masked other?
would you dare to look behind the face,
layer by layer,
and peel off the mask?
expression is hallow,
your inheritance,
a dance with grace,
uncovered, manifest
