Juney

She makes with unleavened grace, a beaten vow, you might as well escape, furious i agree, we inhabit some other space now, my attic room a dream, icon to her blessed reign, go on she says go, sick of my tired entrails, it's not so easy, avoiding a bitter row, what seemed a good scene, always now in utter disgrace, she works like a trowel, about our separation, full of doubt and migraine, is this what we know, her eyes hesitate, stuff that no one shows.

Justy

Ships won't unfurl sail, nor poets chant their lists, until her storm abates, powdered lightly skin toned, no shadow of light resists, the path of only hope, speak to me like this she rails, and I'll surely kill, there'll be no refrain, she doesn't need to 'fone, call the Sisters cash in her chips, she can do this all alone, why insist or rage, twelve days the question twists, she won't leave home anyway, someone who catches a daily train, her courtesan life a drip, leaves still block the drains, what about the kids ?

Juna

Love doesn't soothe me, the wind or her bones, the Lime and Cypress trees, a glance behind what trips, a metropolitan tone, whispers, forget those lips, i drink tea constantly, lousy with what i know, against the blue infirmary, a young woman's life ripped, made up like a scarecrow, firm within the doctors' grip, beside me constantly, her breath a gentle moan, what is all this certainty, give her what she needs, a future back home, who cares for company, to life that's almost gone.

Ita

If i fall to my knees, wail out of tune, would you show some sympathy, play me like a tambourine, make me sing the Blues, let me rest easy, and tastefully tease, with your orange daily news, my hands to cup a scream, dance feather like as a bee, buy me pink cheap perfume, teach me one two three , easy ballet scenes, you skip amidst the ruins, my lips as if deceased, weep tears for your dream, hurt me with your truth, leave with all your team, melt me lemon crude.

India

Smoking a cigarette i hail, a woman's face comes near, uplifted on a toilet nail, geese wheel the honking sky, haunt the clouds like deer, i knew her in another life, yellow wraps abound her frame, she lives this way for years, ice and blue her way, colours of no real price, when whatever becomes clear, that unforgiving night, searching for a forgotten name, nothing in here is born, i think of her again, a lover who always gave, blew flame around my fears, shared jokes heard the train, then disappeared.

Idaho

You kiss before you go, light bounces on the tide, salt from last night’s show, when you rise from the dunes, your face a relic of sky, are you solace tuned, designed on the right tones, a mirage of warm surprise, to reveal all your bones, love you take as your due, before you turn on your side, weary travelers consumed, as for dreams you postpone, on some road you’d rather slide, you pass to lonely souls, the sea crashes all alone, an orchestra for your ride, dances again amidst the groans, make them laugh tonight.

Irena

I'm thinking of going away, getting out of this place, drink wine see about trains, but i haven't got the Moxi, she makes such generous trades, my friend who sits quietly, asks her Da to arrange, a trailer trash luxury crate, somewhere nice for us to stay, I don't ask why, cars fill up their lanes, I watch them pass by, men who understand rage, kneel to see her again, dance in lonely heart ache, nothing's like being ingrained, with a lover so contained, who paints her face hesitates, sways gently in the rain.
