Ashtray


with each stub, I stir the misery
encased in glass
no not the cigarette butts
this time it's me

can't smash my way out
as the little vignettes of life
stub onto me

as I stub my cigarettes
drag after drag
building up a hefty collection

no time for resurrection

the symbol in the tide of my eyes
the carved glass piece
resembles me

and I think that
is
the
only
thing I can
see clearly

    Welcome to AllPoetry!

    Bit of deep meaning to this, I reckon. A lot of metaphor in your words, and it makes one ponder certain things. Nicely done.
