Cleo, Mehitabel and Dark Malbec

Dedicated to Mehitabel, Reincarnation of Cleopatra, and the eminent Don Marquis

I accidentally
Swallowed
A fruit fly
Sharing with me
Our glass
Of wine

Arrogantly 
I thought
She flew into
A cathedral
But then
I remembered

Pavane for
A
Dead princess
This fly 
Didn't 
Die

With a sigh
Of relief
Rather she
In disbelief said
I gotta get outa
This dump
