History


Casey's
Survivor of a forgotten age

left to gather dust

on city streets.



monument to a time

that exists only in dust covered novels,

history peers out through architecture.



taps pour amber

like they always have.

glasses filling quickly.



buried deep,

memories of the past

still remain.

What I'd definitely say about this one is that it wouldn't hurt to expand on it, so that other's might know who or what you're talking about. You could even just rename it Dukowski at Casey's or something to that effect, because there is a disconnect between the first and second stanza. In fact, if the title is Casey's then you might want to start with the bar imagery. Just giving that good ol' fashioned advice!

Point taken.

I think I'm going to rework this one at your behest.
