Improvised Script

Eel Mother knows

the snaky way I feel,

knows slippery

is better than stuck,

wiggly, dancey, kiss

better than itch.

Watery change

blown on a wind of luck

(changer the wicker-weaving

meaning of witch)

every squiggly which-way

to steal away,

to praise unpredictable

Eel Woman, smoky, phallic

calligrapher of the real.
