Room 778
Like all the others
The walls are made of a plaster
Like canvas of an oil painting
The door is guilded mahogany
And guilt once sat in the bathtub
As red stained the grey marble of the floor
What happened
Behind that door?
Thicker than a vault, yet
By design,
Just as easy
Just one door before
The room of a king
Three consecutive 7’s align
In a window
The width of a greedy gaze
As such,
None would suspect
All the attention is suspended and directed
At the winner’s suite
The love between two
Or the solitude of one
That occurs behind all these closed doors
But in 778?
