Irritation from this spec of ash
reaching my eye to blind my
failure in a monstrous mask.
Neoprene stretched across my face,
custom fit to leave no hint,
no clue, no speculation
to where the corpse lays
in consternation.
Witnesses laid down
in moist black tar
never to testify or try
to erase the bruises
and stitches surfacing this mask.
Shoveled into furnaces,
the numb limbs fuel
the beast, igniting it's success
to storm idle crooks,
leaking ashes of sagacity
from it's wounds.
