My Lonely Ashtray / Poem
My Lonely Ashtray
my lonely ashtray,
untouched by the foulness of cigarettes,
weeps not,
for this period of cleansing evokes clarity;
a transparence.
full of destructive filters
is how i last remember it being,
but now, all that lies amid its glass walls
is a lonely roach.

'for this period of cleansing evokes clarity...' - I love this line! And I can relate, being an ex-rollie smoker myself. :) I really like your poem 'An Apparent Ghost' too. Followed!
Thank you so much! I quit that habit a while back now, and reflecting on it and the destructive nature of it I was so blinded to is therapeutic and poetic. Thank you :)
hahaha...even an ashtray has it's place in steemit...hope youre ashtray wouldnt steal any contents from anyone and would not use any bots.
Haha it definitely won't! thank you for the read :)
I dig it, nice way of expressing the lifelessness of cigarettes especially after they've been smoked out of existence ☺️
Thank you, witnessing a dead cancer-stick is poetic. :)
