Death asked me to join him for dinner 
so I slipped into my favorite black dress  
that I had been saving for a special occasion  
and let him walk me to our candlelit tryst. 
He ordered a ribeye, extra rare 
I ordered two desserts and red wine 
and then I sipped  
and wondered  
why he looked so familiar .......
