Abira

Is it a sin to will you home, do only children dance, in years long gone, Verde warms the terrace bar, Campari, sunglasses, chance, you'll adore my shining car, a grave outside your bones, i pray at the gates of France, regret you haven't come, looking at you from afar, sellophane shimmer in far distance, who am i to name your star, sour ball dusk on your phone, starlings wing your electric prance, evening glints your perfect tone, will I see you again, feel awkward at your glance, drumming fires atone, my furious balance.

Aileen

How can i contemplate gain, acting like some forgotten seer, as if that hurricane, will protect my bones, make a river draw them near, a time to be sought alone, like animals of the plain, howl weeping towards our fear, can we ever love again, last winter by tidal stones, when we sat close to tears, was it like coming home, does our soul work that way, a trapeze of childless years, eyes trying to fix a place, where we don't hesitate, when she draws me near, the absence of any pain, suddenly is clear.

Abiyar; started here for the volume 3, 2019 dv

We stand with her ashes, she made us swear at the ferry, we lay her down with her Sash, she cut a fine dash dismissed worries we levied, said life is but a flash, thank God for her cash, what it was not to worry, whirr of the morphine backlash, more than any drum crash, purr from a yellow reverie, are we not the people she asks, in the manner of her fashion, we all accepted tributaries, once as fired as Potash, Orange kids without a wash, proud at the morning jetty, cheeks pale as potato mash, her migrant epiphany.

Zena

I want to be free, says my lover from on high, between you and the sea, no fire or blue reason, looking out she sees the sky, her e cigarette treated, like a wing on the lee, a horizon that's bright, she thinks she's a celebrity, the wind is all seeing, kind but cold cabin light, she has hopes of eternity, it won't stand scrutiny, in places she thinks she's right, a short step to eternity, but can't you please see, on these long flights, bags shifted for harmony, weigh heavy at night.

Zulfina

I'm sat here aghast, shuddering at what i'd caught, thinking this cannot last, my partner is asking, a penny for your thoughts, how do i break her fast, i want to see her on the tap, dancing on thorns, a modern day iconoclast, Oh it's useless i'm fat, i'd rather be caught, on the next mountain pass, another screams avoid her crap, struggling to be born, i swell under Burlap, can't dream of your class, silken not torn, listening to your gasps, broken unsought.

Yannisa

When i was losing cred, you cried don't be undone, i won't see you again, you sent me ahead, dancing forlorn, where else but the tent, freedom a sense of dread, unlike Anthony Powell, who'd sat and read, having given a son to tread, a lonely path alone, lost like Pliny in his head, couldn't pray for rest, or listen to the stones, his manner always myriad, unlike mine let it be said, when our paths have gone, use lipstick instead, throw music at my storm.

Yola

How do we measure love, do you look at the sea, wonder if there ever enough, she talks of sleeping rough, and what it means to be, on top of that trough, its no use acting tough, better be at any cafe', make good of prison, no running or hurrying up, go to museums for freedom, drink wine by broken cup, not too many scruples, washing feet on desolation street, screaming her rebuffs, flips a coin sees enough, worse than jail she tells me, forsake it all delay the 'cuff, my grand schemes.
