I wonder if I’m right, to dream of the sea, lilac as the night, I’ll dance and parade, make faces at the enemy, my clock times this way, the shouts and the fights, the stupid releases, charm is my lightning, daylight bears the fray, it’s cold in the season, I need to get away, what sneaks to the wire, before I flee, is tossed in the fire, there is no dismay, I’m done with feelings, what are they anyway, bags weigh heavy at night, it’s fun to believe, we’ll always be tight, he’ll always love me

Is it only half true, when you smell the Limes, on a windblown avenue, that you really don’t know, forget each tie that binds, feel it in your bones, try to stay aloof, say you know what’s right, except there's no clue, you’re not alone, these desolate nights, let others keep score, don’t rage and argue, your life isn’t a crime, let the fire warm you, try to keep going, in the cold evening light, when the bailiffs phone, they won’t speak of virtue, are not inclined, to know you're through, In this strange time.

The sun rises in steam, along the freeway, nothing waits 'till evening, beyond the morning sky, you still have to name, what carries you inside, it won’t do to freeze, cars fill up their lanes, you’ll need a good reason, not to lie, it matters what you say, not go off this time, my dawn novena, tempers a hurricane, it’s to make you see, what you’ve known awhile, between times I crave, smokes and red wine, night brings little release, where is the hand brake, in your testimony, you use again, again, again.

Paul

Don't turn away silent, you’ll find another way, maybe in a better time, do what you do alone, it needn’t bring shame, rivers flow on their own, laugh in warmer climes, no one here’s to blame, tho’ part of you is dying, beyond this war zone, the shifting hand of fame, is a place you well know, return it to the tide, say all you need to say, don’t wrap it up inside, when promises get broken, and hopes dance in flames, we'll send you call tokens, love weighs heavy at night, it howls in ancient places, waits for lamps to shine, you’ll rise again.

Antonia Three

Before you came for me, who carried the light, bobbling on the ink sea, they say it isn't you, in whispered tones at night, do they know the truth, something you know least, I lose all the signs, I’m supposed to believe, even with this news, a power beyond my sight, loss comes with nephews, love is a bitter creed, it always asks me why, what is there to glean, do I howl at the moon, oil my words with grease, some mask an open tomb, it gapes at my knees, will you come this time, if you could only see, how lovely is my smile.

Antonia Two

Who can ever say, we’ll toast our bones, after we've been away, the picture's not bright, we can cry but won’t, home is not kind, thoughts betrayed, where we come from, nothing on display, in this lilac night, with hardly a sound, there’s no gentle sky, maybe we'll take a train, like a winter's stove, warms us to dream, a horizon blind, we navigate alone, seeking what’s right, a line on my face, says carry on, everyone in our game, stands their round.
