Petra

Who needs a shrink, when a lover somehow, always wants a drink, one day he might stroll, in the village like a clown, others times rotten lie low, I know what they think, he’ll always miss the furrow, his head down a sink, a display all his own, show them what he’s sown, outrage now he’s gone, I teeter on the brink, a whole investment blown, work and strain and stink, who will want me now, face like an ice rink, heavy as a cow, my politics dull pink, sweat shines on my brow, get away don’t think, I sail above the scarecrows.

Hera

My star is coming home, a wonder of the sky, in shelters you lie prone, why whisper about love, rolling in a death vice, face ravaged by the moon, saints can show their bones, a poem betrays your cry, you can’t afford to moan, doves in sunlight search above, a lifetime of men’s sighs, I fly to those who give, fresh linen and Eau de Cologne, makes me wonder why, blossoms of my red choke, is not disguised for pearls, money only lies, just get through this shift, try to find a loan, I’ll dance like on wire, find a road instead of mist, before I say goodbye.

Eileen

I'm not your latest grip, nor big sea, the yellow light hid, you ask about my lovers, with all their surly needs, they don’t have my number, what I sow to live, to break from the greedy, fashion my limits, find a palace of wonder, witness the creed, like my high heeled mother, red stones and pieces of drift, knowing is enough to bleed, it’s all within my gift, enslave or encumber, a lifetime near Innisfree, the smells of sweet summer, you make me sound limpid, by title or deed, a matchstick in a river, there's much more to me.

Donna

Face down terrible claims, no star can refuse, this outrageous fame, you who wonder why, lordly canons of virtue, always want to make me cry, this is no man’s game, TV's blare fake news, chase me through my days, spin the constant lie, let them sing the blues, for all their crass disguise, hardships on the way, nothing here to rue, catch them on the make, only fools will die, beyond the swollen Ohio, look them in the eye, always meet their gaze, act like Scooby Doo, I’m tired of catching planes, heavy with some truth.

Gabriella

Take him by the horns, it's not a place of ease, pray for all you know, we’re not defined by flaws, or other things you dream, scream just because, your love’s on the floor, blazing eyes believe, bells roll out the score, make me love him more, don’t pretend it’s free, keep within the law, if you have to go, it's all right with me, just don’t slam the door, hope’s all we call upon, always meant to be, in life’s constant roar, think of Tripoli, places you can’t cheat, but with this chameleon, who needs the sea?

Anya

Since you've been away, we don't know what to do, but each night pray, break the wall of stone, say it’s right for you, everyone hates you gone, doesn’t have to be this way, hear you sing of love, we’ve nothing more to say, said you had to go, stamp out the fool, head a bag of marbles, our lives turn to grey, drink will be our ruin, all the eaten cake, consumed within your roam, you've little need of truth, except that in your womb, hear your song of praise, see the creep of moon, new horizons are great, let us sing their due.

Corys

You’ll pay a heavy score, almond eyes ruined, when love turns raw, if you feel my bones, wilt like a sinking broom, you’ll know what you've done, life’s gone to the maw, wheeled around and spewed, forget that law, why waste away at home, only fools pay dues, scatter the freeway cones, define me as your tort, other stuff you blew, don't scream because, hard traces to your tone, a warrior out of tune, some forgotten draw, you know you’ll get caught, drain winter into June, all the stuff you swore, promising the moon.
