In the guest bathroom a faux-marble counter
Surrounds the sink and a plastic toilet seat
Also has the appearance of black marble.
Each closet in the apartment has a switch
To ignite a bulb as the closet door opens but
In the guest bathroom the opposite is true.
When the door of the guest bathroom closes
A beguiling blue light above the door reflects
Off glass-covered leopard skin-print wallpaper.
Bathrooms exist as well in the guest bedroom,
The child’s bedroom, and adjacent the walk-in
Closet of the so-called master bedroom where
A small safe in the walk-in closet might attract
Someone’s brief notice on the way to the
master bedroom’s bathroom while away in the
Long hall a cedar closet becomes shrouded
In darkness as the door closes to create
An unexpected seclusion space but neither
The small safe by the master bedroom
Nor the halcyon confine of the cedar closet
Beguile like the blue light in the guest bathroom.
