Caitlyn Three

You smile easy, know just what to say, your spirits dance released, a high heeled slumber, stones, lintels, concave, make you turn and wonder, is it a lover’s retreat, that finds no shape, but allows you to name, this your number, when you state, your life is unencumbered, whose insides screech, tunes jingle and play, you run along the beach, roll in the thunder, forget the carapace, stay out of trouble, find a certain conceit, an act full of grace, eager to leave, good times on your face

Caitlyn Two

The love you show, never goes to waste, a fool in every bone, you have no need, to circle every day, or save enough to flee, in garments sewn, by a drunken oblate, this is all you know, weeds, flowers, pieces, to keep your hands engaged, don’t need to be free, you’ve already flown, away from the shame, makes you sing as you go, a house by the sea, tides and winter and flame, keep you happy, brilliant stones, whisper your name, you are the full blow, they mark your passage.

Caitlyn

You who own the night, the wind hushed fog dunes, do you wonder why, you keep a cheerful home, beat away the blues, always on the go, forget the bitter times, all the cool untruths, bars, rain, homicide, dreams of flying solo, always glad to see you, since last time they phoned, the air plashes by, the evening's getting cool, some wait all their lives, others touch the stones, kids themselves who fume, what they had before, men whistle passing by, you laugh and hum a tune, say it's stupid to lie, you love these rooms

Ellie Three

if you knew how to give, we wouldn't need, these places to live, this is no child’s game, wound in by greed, chasing your days, what about the kids, with all their surly needs, would you cast them adrift, golden dreams can’t negate, smoke on the breeze, send them away, with all your little fibs, think it's a wheeze, like making a bid, you're a fool to celebrate, each day brings no gifts. instead you pontificate, living life by drips, not a big blue sea, where loving light trips, but a lemon squeezed?

Ellie Two

You never mind, the course of collapse, always try to be kind, face like a stone, when you feel trapped, it's best you go alone, won't get frightened, by men who are strapped, say they're divine, who surround you like ghosts, about to relapse, know life’s your own, your heart beats time, with scarves worn for Mass, to love is no crime, Oh no no no, like shoes on a last, suffer their groans, they beg for more wine, slurp it aghast, tell them it’s fine, you cook with gas.

Ellie

She dances in the tide, her fame is just beginning, nails me with that smile, my mother asks what's new, she is not forgiving, love's not running smooth, tobacco blonde full of lies, fresh alive and kicking, many a famous night, what else can I do, who does the bidding, tells me life’s a shoe, you know what's right, she can demand anything, sunlight, water, sky, treats me like a parvenu, lilac heads are dripping, she melts me lemon blue, her lips a twisted knife, our trips on golden avenues, her eyes the river wide, brings me back to you.

Faiza Three

I'll dance to flutes, if I'm not too late, wine is for reckless fools, why heave and groan, act afraid, of my fancy French Cologne, I'll borrow the moon, church and state, to stroll these avenues, we are never alone, in what we hate, a promenade of our bones, now tell me the truth, is my vision great, cast in broken ruins, maybe when I’ve gone, you’ll recognise my case, shining like a basilisk, make me swoon, call me your fate, don’t act stupid, love's not a duel.
