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
