Karin Holloway Poems

A cat is a cat

A cat on the lap
Is a cat in the house
...

I don't want to be serviced
I want to be loved
Not for what I do
nor what I make
...

Something about you keeps me awake
the stars are in bed tucked into my head
...

A bud, becoming, blossoming
In dew, adieu to you.
Sweetly drawn, I drew
The same diagram.
...

Turbulent mind
Choosing arms & legs
stems & forks
to be there -
...

As you unsheathe it.
Trembling pleasurably
...

Fear of heights
spiders
dark
Nightmares of
...

I nearly forgot my life
as I shared it with you.
Tender moments cause amnesia -
in their wake I loll
...
