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 :)

I dig it, nice way of expressing the lifelessness of cigarettes especially after they've been smoked out of existence ☺️
