Pammy

Don't leave your schemes, with hospice assistants, yearn for lost leanings, that's for blond curls, who don’t know the distance, you were never that girl, but a shipwrecked queen, a golden gate sister, a purveyor of dreams the whorl of time’s whirl, spread your resistance, redeemed all the nervous, you talked like a Dean, at your midnight entrance, did not need movie screens, an angel at the fair, cool to be different, where burdens are learned, always in white jeans, when death begs for justice, you won't expire keening, you’ve done it for us. .

Ophelia

Do we keep or burn, a love like gas, the flame turned down, you can see the blue, now time has passed, not strung out on spoons, it's enough to turn, the house won't collapse, somehow you'll convert, words to laden schooners, a truth come to pass, bars are full of losers, I’ll work away and churn, poems to hold you fast, drink from Grecian urns, act as your muse, warm your fingers at the tap, switch it up, disaster makes me laugh.

Nula

When you talk coastlines, when you chance rain, what is the punchline, don't waste my hours, coming home you say, I’ve brough some flowers, what you think is a lie, you smile at the windowpane, wait for moods to fly, stand there and lower, eyes at some distant train, the suburbs your bower, abridged suits you fine, your Da bears the blame, think of our youngest child, why act like a spy, behind your work days, be witness to the crime, no toll without paying.

Marjoram

Please don’t let them see, why they ring our feet, we only asked for freedom, your consoling dove, a village soul and shady tree, here in this crowded boat, pray and pray to achieve, bitter chants of make believe, sad eyes show only greed, we have coursed with blood, this swarm of human seed, did only things we could, salved the wounds of refugees, Lesbos and a moonlit sea, help us only to retrieve, what we’ve lost in love, meet with smiles our greeting, instead of voices rough, we don’t expect things easy.

Lucy

Before you turned to me, carried me with your flight, I knew to be free, who gave you that legitimacy, the love I thought right, the fire you released, ships fanned for their speed, whisper at night, you were my every need, sunlit gardens at Thebes, a power beyond my sight, you left me solitary, three days I wept inside, whole cities heard me cry, hearing my song denied, nailed on Ithaca’s creed, spare me your delight, like a broken scream, you’ll see my siren smile.

Katie

Can you blame me, from your runaway horse, the way you screamed, look at me, I whisper, you've run this way before, I give the reins a twist, what do you bet my Queen, no sorrow or remorse, you know I'll break free, you are not my sister, I’m not your whore, of a thousand wishes, I spend time in dreams, sometimes inside doors, hustle in car lane streams, like a hard worn duster, lifted from the floor, did you seriously think, I would take any more ?

Joanna

Eyes beat like fireflies, you are no one's fool, they dance like satyrs, jingle on the snowline, this cold winter noon, the mountain’s like wine, sunlight bathes our ties, we’re 28 and cool, it gets us by, on track iron or trainside, down the country’s blues, leaves no time for crying, our family's plight, a suffering misfortune, doesn’t give us sleepless nights, we’re poor and just carryon, no need to be cruel, we’ll party like its Oberon, play all of the tunes.
