The Dearest
Great facial mask
now is the time to tell you that I love you
my dearest
my little prison
take custody of my mouth
The Man without a Mask
I don’t have a mask
when I phone someone for help
I behave as if I don’t care
dignified expressions like those in first-class cabins on a sinking ship
