Observation
A sneering face unveils—neither flesh nor bone. A grin deformed—a witness to generational failure. Ancestral folds—meant to swathe newborns. A veil disguised as protection—not placed at birth, but a weight bestowed before breath. A once pure fabric—now stained by the sins of those who came before.
