The Ritz
'Ritz Tower, Night' 1920's Painted by Georgia O'Keefe
They closed the day behind them, and scurried to the hive
Inside a honeycomb of cells, a filing cabinet filled of lives
The night in black and blue enshrouds the city's tallest mast
As evening beckoned heads to rest, with yellow window glass
That overlooks the narrow streets, from a tower of the past
For Brian Strand's contest: Five Line Ekphrasis
