about

My first foray into writing about a solitary object, inspired by the unusual subject matter, meter and style of the duo Lowland Hum.

lyrics

Wine Glass
Holly Kirsten
October 2019

Wine glass,
Covered in particles
Placed in a line,
And you’ve lost your sparkle

Adorned with a tiny glass
Whimsical penguin
Longing for someone
To stop and drink you in

Years of dust, a mask of indifference
But I see your infinite longing

No brush of fingertips
No print of painted lips
No shudder of joy from a hand on the stem

You just stay right here

No one who lingers over dinner on the stove
No ring of laughter to reverberate your soul
No lazy afternoon in the front porch’s sun
No renewed delight when a long day is done

No brush of fingertips
No print of painted lips
No shudder of joy from a hand on the stem

No brush of fingertips
No print of painted lips
You’d pour yourself over to be with them

about

Holly Kirsten Virginia Beach, Virginia

I have been singing, creating new songs, and playing stringed instruments for as long as I can remember. I love sharing music with others and have played with several local bands in the Hampton Roads region.

I also produce my own music. All the songs that you hear are, with the exception of a few special appearances, my own creation.
