Lady Fini

I imagine your thoughts to trail off in French,
Politely demanding the finest pâté,
Then taking repose on a Tuileries bench.

An elegant lady dressed in all black,
Sipping Merlot on l’Île Saint-Louis,
Your citrine gaze ever poised to attack.

You are not one for sunshine,
A queen of the night,
My little feline!

Are you the trapped soul of Simone de Beauvoir?
Mon petit chat noir.
