Beneath The Masque

February 11, 2020

Embracing the myth,

I hide deep within

More Devil than Savior,

aboriginal sin

Excuses my sacraments,

grace bartered for lies

Judgment internal

—redemption denied

(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)

Haunting language... Very intense, piercing images. The rhyme is good and the poem is clear and concise.
