Hotel Ghost (The Night Porter)

Doors open, windows shut.
Vanishing papers, ringing bell
Long dark corridors, flickering bulbs
Sound of silence and do no disturb signs dancing in the dark
Late night callers barely sense a presence
Lifts go up, latches down, covers over without consideration
Creeping halls with nary a thump
Awaiting daylight and respite from years of hopeless wander.
