Cocktail Coquette
poetry by Lori Pas
Red-feathered fluttering flirt
Waving her bellini-martini
Stirring for attention: libations's libertine!
Raising toasts to Gacchus/Dionysus
Singing dithyrambs in honor of her god
Possessed and ecstatic
Here: another frenzied Maenad
Under orgiastic spell
Entranced
And totally enchanting
Notice her wand
And don't dare look into her eye!
