I recall an old story

Oh, for some tasty ice cream from this little shop in Yuma, Arizona!

Blue Monday: Abandoned Motel

Graffiti defaces an abandoned motel north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
Graffiti mars the old hotel,
It’s feeling rather blue.
Is there some way to cheer it up?
I don’t know, do you?
~~ ## ~~
deepening autumn—
the longing of broken things
to be whole again
