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!
