River of Eels~by Paul F. Lenzi

 

 

River of Eels

“Eels” by Ginney Deavoll

time slips

through my bones

like a river of eels

taking bits of me

scavenging scraps of

abandoned identity

churned with a mass

of electrified flesh

rushing madly

in need of the sea

the cold comfort

of deeps with no

competent memory
