some baroque walls a large mural some gothic schizophrenia? i ask. excuses aid reality merely to fly. a lifetime to build my walls painstakingly one by one. illusions smother me. one mask below a perfect mask. like truth, i ceased to exist. for the masked truth is but a lie. i mask the essences of me systematically one by one. you walk my lanes. warm spring chases a gray winter cherry blossoms outgrow a white mask. stardust twinkle in a moonless sky you peel my masks away imperceptibly one by one. naked, the truth lives.
