eel


You slip away like an eel
  leaving me irrelevant
  my feelings soup
on the stove
   boiling
   salty
but you've already eaten

  beaten at my own game
    I sulk
and pout
beckon the demons out
   with whiskey
   dance myself
into oblivion
  kiss strangers
because they
  smell good enough
to tide me over

the phone rings
my heart dives
    into
my stomach
slippery as ever
you lure me
  into your abyss
