Expression twiddles its thumbs Waiting for observation to avert So it can freely hang off the bones Rest and decompress With a bit of solice It can begin to unveil From a contented painting Depicting a face of rest It is an imitation only I've crafted this mask It has given me some peace At first it did create something Others wanted to see But the layers of each new portrait No longer give the old relief They weigh on the authentic My general countenance is not me

Masking
Expression twiddles its thumbs Waiting for observation to avert So it can freely hang off the bones Rest and decompress With a bit of solice It can begin to unveil From a contented painting Depicting a face of rest It is an imitation only I've crafted this mask It has given me some peace At first it did create something Others wanted to see But the layers of each new portrait No longer give the old relief They weigh on the authentic My general countenance is not me
