home

voice like a cat's tongue
whispering in scratchy verse
abrasive and soft

"i've missed you," she says
(she always does when i'm gone)
and curls into me.

purring, she's content
to stretch out across my lap,
her soft belly bare.

hands without conscience
trace patterns on mocha skin,
the world disappears.

her almond shaped eyes
draw me into her embrace...
it's good to be home.
