POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The cowboy bandit myth as archetype here. The masking of basic animal communication signals from public view- what are the effects? Psychological- projection? Sociological- deception? ...et ceteras!

Excellent poem, a brilliant brevity, the masque in this picture looks exactly like that of the Dutch. They use this one during Carnival celebrations, not only as a masque, but for all things, for the head, the hands and so on. The colour is red and exactly like in the picture. I like the piucture very much. Thank you for sharing.

The masque makes a separation in stealth as it hides the beautiful face. It is a raid on beauty.
