Rom lay on the bed
In Room 32
At the Balfour Hotel
She had tried to drown herself
That evening but was rescued
By a passing chef
Who was working
In the kitchens
Four floors below
He had promised her
A hot meal
After his shift
Rom was grateful
To the chef
For rescuing her
And giving her
His spare uniform
She felt slightly foolish
As his uniform
Matched her sad eyes
