32 After hours

Reading:

After hours 

Druggy whimperings of love betrayed
Suggest Chet Baker’s on the case,
Wringing pathos from some long-forgotten
Number of the nineteen-thirties; lyrics rotten
But the melody, in minor key, haunting the mind,
Triggers memory of that girl you left behind
And makes you wonder if you should have stayed.
Lights low, rhythm slow, three a.m. erotic undertow. 
Sigmund Freud is on the double bass.
