Oona

She wakes in golden belief, like yellow on a Holsum van, wonders about a novena, each dance is a clone, moves her as no one can, every tune shakes her bones, in sourball colour seasons, the bars are full of men, she drinks within reason, they rise to enfold her, she graces it with elan, green evenings grow colder, barefoot pays minimum heating, its better than having plans, her cabin makes it easier, if communion weighs a ton, between rich and poor man, justice is always done, breaks whatever mould.

My weekend sings, des cigarettes une espresso, don't care no one rings, the silent have their views, dejeuner avec Lavazzo , have no time to brood, not for me the sea, Martini, Amaretto, my balcony swept free, spare me consumptive news, a lunchtime Prosecco, vitiates my beach room, let them all scream, pasta, wine al viejo, I'm my best Sunday dream, think of a serene cruise, an evening's stroll, along my private avenue, Sabbath's best alone.

Is my time gone unspoken, not drunk enough to cry, afraid this family's broken, our place shuttered and boarded, beyond tomorrow's why, love around here is frozen, bridges where we stand soaking, beyond any heaven’s sigh, can't mend with arms folded, fresh horizons flit encoded, guitar strings at night, play a tune to show them, feels like we've been sold, being brave's only to try, beat away this summer’s cold, to rescue us or coax, say a prayer to the sky, not just some little token, more a sense of pride.

Those little bits of you, ignore schemes that fry, they need more than hooks, don't settle for bones, roll, dance, find someone wise, why stay at home, discard philosophers who soothe, only the edge is fine, find your own truth, read all the holy tomes, there's always a reason why, you'll know how to roam, overlook your place of ruin, seize the time 'as mine,' wear shorts and shiny boots, fling away the stones, try to inspire, always pay what's owed, you don't mind fire.

Keira

You must remember this, take your time, do you want me hum it, the face that haunts you, forgives generous lies, like a fire burns true, will give you a clip, find mysteries of your line, hear when the rain ticks, listen to the wind croon, shudder with the wine, walk your next avenue, an ongoing family rift, furls early shipwreck signs, golden dawns taunt you, mark well your intuits, rubbishes all designs, his spirit might kiss you, don't be frightened.

Janine

Does your husband's curfew, make you to suffer still, light holy candles, give money to every fool, keep from falling ill, throw salt at the blues, douse yourself with perfume, his voice becomes shrill, call in collective dues, see your flowers bloom, sing about spring's chill, someone else's wounds, friends say see you soon, take a laughter pill, if they only knew, there's no easy refuge, keep your love of thrills, hold freedom's bitter tune, let him ride the hill.

Indy

Sometimes i feel squeezed, with the smiles he makes, his manner sleepy easy, swamp lights guide his way, Aretha is playing, by the old Levee, when he broke free, New Orleans was shaking, my hair is washed sea green, evening plashes the glades, knows what he's saying, in a magnolia cotton shade, his long gait and knees, pulls at my traces, he issues a whispered plea, eyes big as lakes we listen to the rain, drum on a roof that creeks, its him again.
