one cat
curled in the corner
waiting for love

a cat howling love --
in the darkness sweat beads
on her upper lip

making love
or trying to...
cat at the door

fighting for love
cat pauses from screaming
to sniff a flower

in the moonlight
all hearts beating faster..
chasing the cats in love

gone again tonight...
our castrated cats
still looking for love

tides of love don't rise
in this cat's heart
he's been neutered

cats
noisy with love
out of tune

carefully positioned now
i fling the kama sutra
copy-cats making love

cat very still
in a doorway - through the rain
his love's howl

twilight shower -
lovesick cats scatter
jump-landing on footpads

no mates for love:
the neighbour's cat
stalks the rat -

they snore together
Sanyo stove and Tomcat,
these loves...

No killing today
on the African plain-
cats in love.

mockingbird attack!
the cats
forget about love

awakening me
a cat crying for love
her caressing hand

Sound sleeper
Missed cats' love yowls through window--
now sees his round cat

haloed moon:
stalking the empty streets
the lone cry of a cat in love

warm summer night
upright in bed -
howl of cats making love

cats in love
in each eye of the cat
two tears of twins
