One unoccupied room
Vacancy sign humming
A lonely traveler arrives and asks if he can stay.
Will the inn keeper be satisfied with this stranger staying here?
Outsiders aren't often accepted around these parts
The traveler is turned away
Days later, another inquires
She stares at him with weary eyes
Has the scent of the last occupant gone already?
She looks up the road, hoping for headlights
One queen sized bed
Seems a waste to leave it empty
