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.
