EVA

 

Extra Vehicular Activity (for Eva 2010-25)

By Adam Parry.

 

I came home

to the curves

of the cat,

I came home

and can’t find me

in the mirrors

anywhere.

I` came home

no slippers for my feet

so stroke the contours of the cat

soft haired and purring.

I came home

My fingers and toes

In her hair fingertips

conducting

the

air above Eva-

Eva, weaver cantilever-

Extra Vehicular Activity.

My fingers, fingertips

circumnavigate the cat

as she purrs and purrs

and I come home

knowing now

I’d always been home

and still the cat purrs on.
