Ashtray Monday..

The city is empty for the town has gone mad.

Once a flourish elegant fabrication.

Now but a strapless lie.

It sits in my stomach...

The aroma heavy with stench ....

Like week old coffee.

The flavor is now stale.

Circling an endless ring of forget-me-nots..

Such forgery....

Such empty desires in a hollow sunset.

Yet I still reach blindly into the sun..

Hoping to catch that firefly
