~1.1~
Welcoming are the faces,
Painted black and white,
Eyes full of sorrow,
Lips spread in delight.
~1.2~
Empty eye sockets,
China-white skin,
A deep full smile,
Concealing chagrin.
~1.3~
“Peel off the layers,”
I was there to ask,
Just a frame work of bones:
Her face without a mask.
~1.4~
Wide awake in awe,
The shape of the Earth,
Where was the envy,
Behind her fake mirth?
~1.5~
She wears a thousand faces,
To hide the real few,
Dominoes on everybody,
How many just on you?
Simply Wonderful
Keep going Shanyu

Good day
The mask
is not only
in front of my
face
my body
must me
protect
from violence
from within
from the outside
the others
I don’t want to fool you
I say it
them
myself
my stupidity
in the face
Best regards
Hans Gamma
