purring

riverside

from on
my knee
you saw
from the
balcony
the tui
in the
top
branches
against cloud
bobbing his
frill at the
throat with
beat of
note,
a tumble
up and
down the
stairs of
song,
the man
in oilskins
crossing the
wet road
the spider
web drift of
rains along
the estuary,
a car tire
loud taking
the sharp
corner
and you
purred
through
it
all

for Big Cat AKA Wandui

The music is from the adagio movement of Hadyn’s Cello Concerto No.2 in D major, performed here by cellist Steven Isserlis and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

Succinctly describe, hear the purring cat out of gauzy rain quite loudly. the spider webs of drifting rain particularly evocative

Hi Dean, was trying to record, as I imagined, his impressions as he moved his head to the different angles from which he considered these phenomena. Thanks for that!
