Blue Angel Bar

We wandered, forever, Down the rat alley maze, Buildings full of shadows, Impenetrable to our gaze. Neon lights calling out, Beckoning us on through the night. Stone steps leading down To a forbidding steel clad door, Guarded by a brace of hairless gorillas, All dressed in black. The portal to Dante's hell Opened before us, And we were welcomed in. A cacophony of sound assaulted our senses, The smell of draw stung our eyes, Hades was a jumping, To the sound of discordant musicians jazz. Then we saw her. She moved and twisted, All sinew and flesh, Arching her back, Feline with grace.   As we adventured, Across to the bar, We didn't see the souless approaching, Narcotics aplenty, of varying degrees. Having done a deal. Congratulating ourselves on not being naive. We too joined the ranks of the empty, And took our places at the, Modern alter to femininity. The dancer danced the dance of an enchantress We stared on through a drug fuelled rapture. Seconds turned to hours or maybe even days. As my consciouness forsake me I slid down, gratefully Into the darkness of non remembrance. The morning broke as I left my golden dream. Cold, gramped and aching In my new abode, A doorway in the rat alley. In age old tradition The bouncers  Had brought out their dead. I'd been carried, Unknowing From out the Blue Angel Bar. No thoughts where left Only pain instead. I had quietly joined the hoard.
