Cat's Space
by Glenn CurrierDid you ever notice
how a cat inhabits a space?
The way her body conforms perfectly
to the contours of a couch or lap,
soaks up the coolness of the tile,
faces in the perfect direction
to avoid the gusts of the fan
but not too far from your hand.
Basks on the windowsill
in just the right space
to exploit the angle of the sun.
Stands purring in the precise spot
for the stroke of your dangling hand.
Curls, napping in a box
almost too small for her body.
Ah, to find such joy and comfort
just being in the present space! 10/06/2003 Posted on 10/06/2003
