Holly
My own breakfast test
feel a lover's trauma
don't i feel blessed
sailing as we speak
with a raging lymphoma
all her troubles leak
howl like the wind
complaints amorphous
a drowning sound
that sinks like lead
a real performance
pictures in my head
jukebox in the kitchen
everything roars
seeks wine at 8 am
like she’s never been born
chocolate with toast
operate another form
act the holy one.

Hera
If its children and dogs
just be what you are
in a warm hazy fog
that's what you want
from the river Alt
sea roses in your font
but help me realise
what's going on
in someone else's dreams
close to here
pictures bear a lonely scar
for all my needs
dancing on egg shells
fires everywhere marked
by your iron bell
plant a seed
bring me what i want
time at least
beneath a fading star

Paintings are my scene
museums have a lonely grace
hearing screams
I stare out of canvas
that's really my fame
the world my caravan
from summer nights
or gas fired winter places
how often do I lie
heaven for you to look upon
the scent of my face
you are like M Duchamp
who before me rushes
buttered names like waves
his Fountain flushes
unshaven waiters
bring cognac to my table
orange in measured spaces
my oiled frame.

Lacey May
In a spartan cafe'
reclaimed from the sea
let me tarry
blonde or wispy dark
like a coming enemy
shadows make marks
dawn the falling rain
saddened at the infirmary
echo of empty cradle
doctor's sad smile
more than we can ever be
love gone by miles
on hospital alleyways
the absence of heartbeat
sound of a dismal train
it whistles the length
of St Anthony’s quay
loss brings no certainty
to sorrow again

Lara - begins the broken stanza series of 250 poems going forward after Naked Lunch.
The turn of lovely days
scourge her great freedom
a river estuary
the streets and diners
awaken a sense of ease
solace out of time
not her real home stupid
walk these yellow streets
wrath of Madam Cupid
where debts get paid
beneath cool trees
blue drinks hang on trays
Our lady holds her heart
in the cold light seasons
whenever luck departs
no matter what bell rings
the river will release
a sister from another city
across broken seas.

Lise +10 poems down is on cunard file
Is there more to come
your Da all scorn
does me down
trees and yellow flowers
wine and thorns
wine and thorns
trips to country Mass
but its harvest time
you talk of New York
my lucky find
we danced with ease
through fields of corn
in that post war scene
your mother screached
like a hurricane storm
but you were sweet as autumn dawned
we kissed at Cherbourg
seasons drawn
on fine blue mornings
