Maskless

Maskless

By C. Derick Miller

5/19/21

Revealing eyes

Acceptance sought

The inlets to our soul

Near fireside

Exhibits smiles

In mouthless vocal role

Denial’s gambit

Money men

Are shamed to life in Hell

For heathen church

Religious nod

God bid her last farewell

Confessions worth

Dictated sails

Which pathway we’re allowed

Our code of dress

From nose up nude

Pandemic’s facial shroud

Did you dig it? See more here!
