Maidens for the fest

They are supernatural
and they turn the gas on before each special occasion

The maidens who had died a Thousand years ago
tended the flame as if polishing jewelry
they were real ghosts and admitted to me
halfway into the mock ceremony

Lighting up the hallways and bathrooms
The visitors frowns were also illuminated
and their lost luggage did the ghosts do that too?
All the flowers and colorful clothes

Were they trying to reproduce the gates of heaven
Supernatural and troublesome
sabotaging the party

They kept turning the gas on even after all doors were locked
kept howling up the locked corridor idle and nasty
