Djonomasks

rite of days spoiled and stagnant...
half of that would be enough
to destabilize the soul of things
as if happiness only came
to illuminate a misguided life
tree without shade and useless
empty gaze of stacked mannequins
despised on the dirty floor of the old life
someone destroyed the world
while I dreamed
I was better being less human
