Gummy Bear

it starts out sweet and delicious
                                               like a gummy bear
                                               fruits and sugars and hugs
aftertaste, aftermath, catastrophe
                                               the delightful movement of the
                                                          ethanol,
                                                                    glycerol,
                                                                               formalin
swirling around your tongue,                    stunned
that eddy in which your
                                               gummy bear drowned
then that fire and panic,
your own throat,
                                               gasping for the sweet bubbly air,
                 out of reach,
                                               sucking in death, laying still
at the bottom of the glass
