Quantilla

If i'm not too late, i'll dance with you, each evening by your gate, swept by your ribbons, melted lemon blue, your yellow hair and whispers, down fallen roads, my mother says only be true, but she doesn't know, your love and mine, our trips to secret venues, flowers smell like wine, i'm lucky in love, no church reason or virtue, your sky sails above, in this time of hate, make me swoon, take me as your mate, let them rumour.

Quella

Across my forearm lover, my sleeve a chance number, she points to the others, her face a sweet mirror, garett astonished wonder, hearing the whispers, I feel myself crumble, how the world slumbers, at this illicit silver, night winds sing forever, beyond our daily jumble, they make our days hover, fighting over what is done, fire and distant thunder, why we had to run, one unwashed sign above us, outsiders walk under, some won't make sunset, scattered,sundered.

Oriana

Give me demon jewels, and let me laugh through tears, i will dance with fools, under cold white stars, golden gowns stroke my fears, i can't believe this farce, my dreams are for other scenes, citizen comrades brought near, given money to preen, i smile and remember, those ached for years, when there was no pretending, i turn my head,shrug a look, don't want to hear, what she's done, her long gait and twisted cool, the perfume costs me dear, my whole life being cruel, who will pay the seer ?

Pina

Yes, go on, watch me dance, you know about horses, but you'll never have a chance, what you do is prance, show others around the course, all the has been losers, you smoke look askance, watch me sing myself hoarse, what you might wonder, where others have lanced, they rake me worse, their blues like flowers, you hold my hand and ask, what is life without remorse, swigging whisky from a flask, your scheming tells me that, the trick is being taught, sour tongue lonely chit chat, eyes forever caught.

Paloma

My time goes by unspoken, afraid of family especially Pa, our farm closed and broken, which hand did you hold, inside the stables pathway bar, sun struck leaves me sore, my days scattered unfold, no one sees my star, or hears a silent roar, that memory won't emote, chime or beat of bell jar, awaken lost Mariposa, steal away like a ghost, elbow grease a foreign bar, have to deal with cuckolds, see the crime as a token, why not say tu voir, not so easy to let it go, we never travel far.

Osta

She says a dawn novena, and worries about her feet, dancing who will see her, love's a trick to trap her, not knowing her own to keep, or equipped for street scenes, every tune makes its mark, bars fuel her sole conceit, blonde singers and wood yards, they rise to greet her, but when morning turns green, she prays alone forever, wondering if there is a heaven, more than any depth of need, betting is always evens, perhaps with a communion beat, maybe a retreat, she can rescue everything, that makes her dream.

Octavia

Will she dip me now, make me drink more drink, sit and wonder how, her eyes beaten brown, she dances on the brink, this Summer long, the heat off her brow, gathers and sinks, what she might plan, like a ship's clown, a display dull pink, scatters her lines, constrained i wait near, know what she's thinking, her intentions are clear, i won't need a path, never a shrink, a new lover somehow, time to blink.
