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
.Strawberry
Margarita.
