Contributor Series 6: A Currency of Words
I let my words purr like a cat
By Laura Zucca-Scott
I let my words purr like a cat
Rolling in comfort and unspoken love
Hoping understanding would break the night
Hope is never easy to come by
Sought after, corruptible and pure,
A child jumping in his father’s arms
Words are overrated
Chimeras of sophisticated times
Dangerous and simple
If only one word could be spoken
I hope it would speak of love
Slow and caring, and new
Like a cat purring in my arms
Laura Zucca-Scott’s poem Maze of Tomorrows (September 2010) is her most recent appearance at vox poetica.
Ahhh, a poem of love, dangerous simplicity, cats, and comfort, and words! I’d wrap it around myself and keep it always, if I could!
Thank you, Laura
Sleek and purrr-fect.
I really liked this poem!!! 🙂 I found myself purring like a kitten after reading it.
