Masquerade

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
