Donal Mahoney- A Poem

Gentleman's Club

With feline grace

and feral eyes 

a ponytail 

of raven hair 

bouncing, bouncing 

waitress tall  

wisp of skirt

spaceship heels 

weaves among 

tiny tables

tray held high

in a disco sky

ice cubes tinkling

a lioness amused 

by eyes of prey

never brushes 

a single shoulder 

as men drink up,

reach for money.

Perhaps she will. 

Let's have another.
