Idola

Our love of the rain, is a burning tyre, not pine needles and hay, an offering to the Gods, like ice cold fish knives, to show we're not alone, we were never easy or brave, around blue midnight, for what my family craved, demons rattle their bones, among candlelit signs, they pester me for loans, will take them anyway, our eyes meet the tide, at some terrible place, won't keep trouble at bay, this lifeline required, stumble in the roaring Hades, dampen their fire.

Ianira

I stand by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, the remains, of dinner like a tramp, does my unkindness share, your red lips and white face, a cigarette to spare, waiting for the clamp, forgotten fountains of champagne, who needs mountains, when you can send a stamp, like loading a freighter, from hotel rooms in France, you were happy there, listening to the rain, you always let me declare, show you the dance, whiling time at brown cafe's, what we needed to enhance, you didn't say.

Honey

That year was no symphony, always another scene, my partner out of harmony, a photographer of the dead, and unashamed functional streams, wants to give it a rest, all our could have been's, are dazzled by the sea, radiotherapy changes everything, I always failed the test, difficult to find a new identity, when other lies have spread, do poets get longevity, or rage about midstream, when it's time to leave, a laughter not too deep, dreams of heaven and ice cream, lipstick, Guiness busy as bees, praying for some peace.

Haley

You'd gamble anything, you look at me and say, why constrain our summer wings, like you kiss the calendar, watching ships in the bay, roll like waves into harbour, chase money like it was bling, salt and perfume far away, caress me as a wedding ring, sneaking out of somewhere darker, smoking cigarettes kneeling to pray, maybe you can afford to wonder, call upon different singers, what a sound they make, songs gurgle what they bring, don't see me as your cling, forage at some night betrayed, conceal the bitter holy things, take them to your grave.

Krista

A hollow with our team, stays to warm her toes, she's going home, that jilted smile's a train, screeching by the trees, she has no time to play, a caution to her flow, she mentions other schemes, that only borrow, been a long time away, doesn't need the freeze, what people have to say, her thoughts are very slow, still looking for the dream, nothing to bestow, won't hurt you with her no, your night's without a key, she has places to go, these high mountain streams, let you know, what people up here see, almost in their bones.

Hilda

She's your daughter, don't fake an interesting life, say how you were adored, or talk with pregnant pause, make sudden deliverance your lie, we've heard those tales before, when you left our train, she writhed for days inside, that wave in the rain, a letter suddenly supports, your nowhere ville demise, shirt hanging nail on door, left as a reminder, a trace, like she was the one who died, sailing out from every place, this barely stepped on floor, you’ll regret ever asking why, your emotions too poor, to understand the crime.

Hermoine

You never say what's true, what you swore, sashay down a street with you, dance again to the moon, pray at some lonely door, my head full of tunes, why my lover groans, why say things like that for, why break my bones, only fools live like you, barking out your holy orders, shipping your life to stew, i sweat her furious tone, i am not divined by whores, sitting here in this gloom, i was a fool to leave you, i paid a heavy score, your face is blue, love is raw.

Holly

A strange need to please her, the sound of a removal van, it forgives all nerves, her offering is a tune, who could fault her tan, every song sings of ruin, she rides without care, the bars are full of men, turns her face to fares, ships blow their hooters, she glides with elan, passed sea green schooners, and barefoot prays to share, with loving countenance, gentle as the air, that laughing dare, not given by chance, certain eyes flash beware, she's coming around.

Hayley

Don't ever make a fuss, she carries yellow lists, makes room for one of us, your heart beside the freeway, chained against her fits, places she wants to reign, if you need a chorus, be prepared for this, simply do what she insists, she hisses find another Turkey, tells me seek a ship, knowledge is always hazy, feel the rain like dust, walk to middle distance, regulate by clock or bust, leave someone else who's nuts, on this road of whispers, is the sea in your blood, an Ocean floor to crash ?

Heysha

The wind's cool probate, opens our defences, who cares what toil it takes, if it brings us rain, to the cast we bend, we'll bear that pain, armies who here predominate, take our shy friendship, as tickets to replicate, their forbidden gains, drunk in their resonance, they leave us nothing, open to every gale, can anyone mend our fences, even as we castigate, we in turn collaborate, dressed like our ancestors, in ill lit clubs gyrate, twist and shout and shake, cheap perfume suspenders, how little to imitate, the inventive West.

Gena

Dancing alone you never say, i am cold in my bones, my daily struggle too late, at least by railway lines, waiting to atone, a thought goes wrong this time, it seems like making crazy, drifting like the Holy Ghost, it’s just my little way, stations don't get you high, or really can't condone, when you start to wonder why, tut as clocks hesitate, eyes hide the inner groan, but still take the strain, I'm beyond any delay, first class ticket or iphone, staying alive by rails, wishing you were home.

Galina

Sometimes you can’t explain, what hurts you deep inside, telling someone to their face, nothing in your eyes to gain, but an unforgiven lie, the way your lips feign, truth to a lover unbowed, or see her cheeks rise, gentle as she's proud, where she once jumped rail, found places safe to climb, beyond the walls of jail, a woman of love and rage, she beat out her time, tho' didn’t cap the flame, now she wears a shroud, no longer berates the sky, wooden box to the ground, is this really the place, to ask the reason why, uneven love blue as rain, desolation in your cry ?

Fara

She worries if anyone sees her, and wonders about her feet, each step taken with care, if she feels love, she knows it’s not to keep, dreams of that place above, every prayer takes her there, bars are her sole conceit, terrible singers hard chairs, raised every night to shove, when morning she's green, gets dressed feels the rub, if heaven is a place to share, those depths of need, she'll have a go at getting there, a wooden place that's fair, not somewhere beat, perhaps with a communion air, it'll rescue everything.

Franzi

Yes, go on, watch me dance, you know about horses, but never how to ask, what you do with lovers, let them run the course, it's no worse than others, you smoke in a trance, see me sing myself hoarse, talk of an interesting past, dark glasses blue clothes, you always played the form, a face parlez vous morose, in your life on the Bourse, gates always ready to force golden hands for balance, this is no racing romance, love doesn't take that form, rake over what is past, can you bet some more ?

Fianna

When the wind blows a groan, who cares if we miss our ship, dance like prisoners borne, broken clothes and spirits frayed, wayward sentiments seek to slip, bad breath everything they say, will consumptive Europe, want wet or dry lips, care how much we atone, give us drugs hear us pray, care to ask how's our grip, bilge abroad we sink today, cry by berths soothe our bones, stowaways who'll surely skip, manacles of wretched homes, If it's like this in Barcelone, what's the point of another trip, strangers grasp you from below, tell you get a grip.

Fernadina

My time is lost in family, afraid of kids, padres, me ma, our field all closed and empty, which of my hands did you cross, outside the toilet boulder jar, in sun struck brick to unlock, the fire within my story, no one saw my scars, my wall of scarlet worry, set each time within my loss, like the fields and crops, rode me like a car, each blue Monday, didn't know when to stop, our unspoken territory, ruined by broken forfeits, my fuel is gone, it's easy to see, fear comes from the dark.

Fadila

Strumpet times measured in years, are going to be different lady, how we got to spill our tears, nothing here to divine, why we leave the city by train, through long journeys of night, Sorrow is not our gear, we accept it this way, but just bail out of here, ease of love keeps us high, this is not what we trade, don't confuse that other time, shows us what not to fear, no need to feel ashamed, by some troubled busted queers, tell me to steer well clear, not to go money crazy, remind me of Aquinas dear, heal my wounds,find a way.

Fancy

Your moans still leaves me, shivering and blowing, notes from Blues street, they don't bring relief, but a gnawing groan, wasted opportunities, still born fate, a star to call home, that won't reach me anyway, you could hear my dreams, bought with a pay day loan, cried broken homilies, i tried to be gay, before sunrise arose, that fateful Wednesday, torn dress woollen 'kerchief, your wailing tones, dread ruin across your face, jelly for your bones.

Frederica

What keeps you being down, a crescent moon at Easter, a night time after sun, your desire to own, denies all reason, by map or red trombone, a clutch of wayward clowns, billow your search to flee, running far from the town, building blocks to your mound, already in dreams, you accept this holy ground, or is it that chlorophone, helps you manage breathing, don't act like a drone, when you love you drown nothing's given for free, put away your doubts, try and take life easy.

Fabaya

Who will tend our bones, listening to the rain, does my lover run alone, or make my heart beat, drown the early pain, birds we used to feed, winter cormorants we know, and maybe see again, ferried on their flight zone, a sound of broken wheels, last November grey, flying before the sea, the flag at danger flow, wondering if these waves, will make her atone, straggling in our clothes, she isn't here to say, drain September's glow, before we float away.

Evana

Give me my broken jewels, and let me laugh through tears, if you must be cruel, you can dance with strangers, under cold white stars clear, your golden lies bring no danger, but I can’t stand those fools, who dream of drinking beer, don't show me other mules, give me money or some range, in your sails there is fear, ached for years displayed, when we ran on fuel, you turned a head, kept me near, now you don't know what to do, all the world can see you, your long gait and busted rear, but no one has a clue, perfume costs you dear.

Evee

Your son has gone home, to his father, you fix a hi ball alone, sometimes we are lectured to, by impractical lovers, like what's happening with you, not that you wish to scorn, or believe tales of others, when they ask what you've done, crickets turn to glue, birds flee the heather, sing of global truths, you shake and hold your bones, whisper like a sinner, twist your useless comb, the moon fills your dome, brings yellow news to gather, tears are lachrymose, you are a strong women. wind starts to blow stuff their fines never one to roam, might have once been so, not like me to atone, did you raise your brow,

Emma

Embers burning low, it's been a while, have you nowhere else to go, it's not like you to atone, was it the child, frozen against your bones, might have once been so, but you had more style, wrapped up in the snow, did you raise your brow, told them stuff their fines, you had another show, always one to roam, you had no need to mine, rights you didn't own, now when the cock crows, you sit by the fire, coax a smile into your soul, try to look kind.

Eysha

Etched across my forehead, a wrist enhanced number, some weather the test, her face a sweet mirror, eyes of shocked wonder, looking for hope's glimmer i whisper to myself, is this how we slumber, lying in this shed, worrying over distance, while fire rages through us, have we come to this, days of plagued dread, nights stupid with lovers, because we said yes, a washed sign of death, we watch them walk under, she lays a hand to my chest, others cast asunder.

Eita

If i'm not too late, i'll dance with you, forget what they say, caress you with my whispers, melt you lemon blue, your red and yellow ribbons, beneath fallen archways, you being true, will rue any pain, unlike your little sister, who spies our secret venues, tells your Ma i kissed her, flowers by a winter gate, you hate dull virtue, in lives of great space, please don't hesitate, come with me soon, fly over the shipping lanes, I'll calm the rumours.

Ella

The arc of her time, splices lovely days, adds vodka to her wine, Macy's, the Five and Dime, New York alley ways, she drinks the moonshine, and hangs on the telephone, in a sun that frays, her search for home, to black evening night, where all debt get paid, she follows what's right, they'll let her know, if she delays, cold white stars for bones, she's done no crime, only sits with her gains, smells gently the Limes, down this broken lane. but who brings the fire, / thinking she'll be fine to make her happy ? / she will be happy that sought after light but who brings the fire the kids will arrive, their faces bright, making chocolate Maxima, thinking she'd be fine, vodka leads to ruin, but what is she doing,

Elana

She hates the dull why, the pleadings of reason, sought night after night, but where is the line, when fire turns the seasons, sedated by wine, what rights her thoughts, churn hours her pleading, cloud days her zero, who brings the time, to the walls her keening, when you have the knife, which flower bought, regular as the heating, her angel face caught, the hair spilled fine, beneath the moon’s easel, she sings out her lies, no suggestion of treason.

Ebbie

She wonders if she's right, to cry for the sea, in sought after light, but what is she doing, making chocolate Maxima, worrying about freedom, mulling over wine, cold in the season, thinking she'd be fine, vodka leads to ruin, watching clouds her reason, her eyes frozen prisms, but who brings the fire, to these walls like treacle, when down the line, the kids will arrive, regular as the heating, lilac as the night, their faces bright, to sooth her unease their shouting and fighting, time she can't leave.

Della

What lights up the pain, the sun rise uneven, cars filling up their lanes, i call out your name, with my dawn novena, but nothing is the same, each dance was a trip, but where are my feet, a bar to shake my hips, this fine tired game, provides no beat, just a morning shame, the blonde wooden skips, are stacked like wheat, but where are the ships, can’t there remain, that coming home feeling, you once generated, each green evening.

Debby

When we pass strange misery, falling like the rain, a dread cortege of limousines parents always feel, sometimes without grace, they'll never know the deal, when children grow to women, if they'll be okay, always be forgiven, Our Lady sees what's real, all the games we play, with cold lit intensity, she dances on the rivers, groaning with our names, the prayers we always summon, to hang on bursting leaves, engines without praise, we think can escape eternity, ignore the terms of freight.

Dafna

Please don't push me, I only weigh six stone, what is this called freedom, consolation of his love, a human need for home, here by an iron stove, i sing a song bittersweet, uneasy chants of lost souls, fills my hair and dreams, as we wait to move, the only song i own, bellows out my longing, shifting sounds of the sea, Syrian Greeks moonlit bones, the rock of Simon Peter, do you hear us keening, Europe doesn't want to know, men say 'time to leave', live or die alone.
