Orestes

When you waved ta ra, tried to make me shiver, i died at that bar, what you said was rotten, your love of ports and rivers, from your battered car, this lonely beach in my head, your stories all delivered, bottles, tar, tidal wood, your strings of denials, between carpets as my lover, left as reminder, a tide, to forget me when i thirst, or a tale remembered, that you come first, don't disturb lands of la la, or say love’s your ember, Santa Fe, Kobe, Antofagasta, somewhere you'll go under.

Mary

Don't leave it for someone else, at the house of the spirit, tell lies seal your depths, have me crying in your debt, pushed to my limits, perish that awful image, to be like canvas flesh, bones chilled like a relic, loved only by my friends, nail a horse in middle distance, wait while thirst is gritted, be the blessings of my drift, show concern my every instant, escape by ship with killers, take decisions on the torrent, rejoice with hidden incense, circle your life that minute, hands raised wind swept, you have my ticket.

Maisie

Strained in my moaning, small wonder in this place, heart beats against bone, bus ticket a turning wheel, blown by the rain, she listens to my weeping, laughs at all my treats, the useless games, needed to deceive, the foray of her visits, shadows yesterday's blame, tins chocolate biscuits, bites at a cotton 'kerchief, the ribbons of a day, sunlight streaks her face, a sea whipped home, a tornado for my cage, incarcerated lips groan, you're dancing again. alone by the beach wondering what to say or search to be, ignore their testimony, given by offertory, adore me offering no diety no need to break free see my swirling feet

Milly

Here's the question, why on a secret phone, behind a crushed request, you suffer whispers, in hushed magenta tones, a light yet sore trespass, the reason you’re like this, flushes within your core, to escape their hit list, a lemon colour of insistence, says you've been honed, to blow away insouciance, your voice calls afresh, no one really condones, a lonely time of sentence, you are careful of inquests, faces blue as bone, illicit sisters' cigarettes, you smoke as your own.

Madeleine

Round a futile exercise pen, try to guard your fears, no need to tell them, light a path to heaven, plan the atmosphere, a smoky hazy den, holds bones of lonely leaven, know the need for tears, you have done your seven, it brings no credence, no everything is here, keep Junk in the distance, a worn blanket around you, that picture's now clear, by jail and changed retinue, dream of quilted linen, sunshine on the pier, liberty not dinner, your time is coming near.

Mariana

There's no such release, alone by the beach, wondering who adores me, or if there are others, eager to leave, memories like lovers, mascara streaked faces, lemon blue by the sea, showing glorious taste, echoing in their bones, my Davy Jones’s feet, who say no need to roam, or search to be, ignore their testimony, given by offertory, coins dance easy, my insides screech, between home and conceit, i need to break free.

Louisa

The love you gave away, dissolved or delayed, keeps hurt at bay, in troubles or forgiveness, don't let it reign, by Calendar or catechism, stay sane of certain dread, that caps your flame, keep that in your head, the difficult questions, don't tell your tales, refuse requests, drunk as a banshee, to dance amongst trays, when problems rage, cafe's swell with rain, brilliatined waiters, whisper your name, seek solace every day.
