Ostra's farewell poem signals closing

[Robin Garr]

Poetry is metaphorical, and even as an English major I'm loath to analyze it. But it sure looks like Ostra is closing. This message has popped up on their website; their Facebook and Instagram presence seems to have been dormant for a while.

Ostra Christmas 21
no need to cry
it's all part of the story
pretty boy comes to town
before the terrible times
pretty corner grows ivy
against the brick wall
pretty soon the lease is up
songs never die
but sometimes it's time to change
songs
pretty boy
- that's me
Ostra
no need to cry
We meet again on pretty streets
Ostra's last week is here.
