Wolf Mask



I was howling at the moon before I wore teeth,
A painted whore in virgins clothing,
Selling fire to the houses of the holy and preaching porn to the pure,
Busting faces off ancient cages,
Waking the living sleeping in the ashes of the dead,
Faith is a drop splashing into the books that whisper onto the ears of the blind.
