The room: never aired out. Smoke hung high, creating its own atmosphere. Pun intended. Box of cigars sitting on the coffee table, always within reach. Glass ashtray to smother your butts, when a forearm wasn't intended. Burning flesh, each circle telling its own story of a mistake. That's why I prefer long sleeves. They hide my stories about Grandfather's house.

Grandpop's Ashtray
The room: never aired out. Smoke hung high, creating its own atmosphere. Pun intended. Box of cigars sitting on the coffee table, always within reach. Glass ashtray to smother your butts, when a forearm wasn't intended. Burning flesh, each circle telling its own story of a mistake. That's why I prefer long sleeves. They hide my stories about Grandfather's house.
