Daisy

Is it a sin to go alone, do only children dance, down the long slopes, Verde on the terrace bar, Campari dark glasses, chance, an evening the suburbs adore, outside opera house Lake Como, I pray our wounds will lance, my stay at this rodeo, loving someone from afar, sheathed in the middle distance, who am I to deny her laugh, sourball colours blah blah blah, your electric prance, demise of yet another star, I’ll see her again I hope, cooled by her glance, a singing fire to rake, the rhythm of her balance.

Cindy

Who beseeches lonely bums, sets afire pallet frames, all to guide us home, cotton, gold and hair spikes, what games we play, how we wield the dice, I dance to a different drum, moonlight meets my gaze, a lovely songbird thrums, do I settle here or fly, flit from place to place, or listen to its lullaby, springtime grass has come, trees burst down the lanes, they call me Sugar Plum, will I sway in dusty light, my name reside on buttered waves, others ask me why, love always greets my days?

Bella

Do we think of others, while howling down the phone, giving our friends a blub, prayers and frightened sinners, our thoughts get blown, along blue green rivers, drummers play and look above, parties where you feel alone, men search for easy love, spring throngs with winners, but you can only flow, or die by evening sunset, put your hand beneath the covers, seek for answers you don’t know, play yourself out of trouble, resist that guy’s guilty twitter, instruct your eyes say no, I mean, does the light trick us tells us where it wants to go ?

Annie

We stand by the ferry, she made us swear, to lay her down by water, she gathers our fear, dismisses our worried stares, says there must be no tears, thank God we’re merry, and the weather’s fair, instead of trials and ancient levies, more than ever a seer, singing in the yellow air, her sayings begot by jeers, in passing now she’s ready, we all embrace her glare, a gun once fired and deadly, like stolen kids drinking beer, proud at the schooner’s turn, apple cheeks full of cheer, she carries us with her .

Zaidy

What I was feeling then, can it be undone, I won't see you again, when you sent me reeling, dancing forlorn, where else but the freeway, going is a case of when, like a dress that’s torn, you have to count to ten, then sit unfeeling, to face the drive alone, I couldn't see anything, or pray for the rent , turning into stone, mine was never to Ken, so brother keep me dealing, when our flight has flown, sweeten my lips believing, the ocean is my own.

Yana

How do I make this scene, looking cool on vodka, as if it will protect me, off my face with anxiety, hands pushed down the sofa, eyes look around furtively, places like you’ve always been, red and yellow dank cellar, her smile smiles sweetly, the great days of history, she loosens first my collar, we sit side by side umbilically, she is like a gift from the sea, cracks open the Rioja, awaits the next epiphany, doesn't bother with identity, has neither sou nor dollar, wants to explore my territory, no one here to stop her.

Xena

Show us at our best, find a sail to make us thrill, our flight to change address, if there’s more to caress, battered nights leave us still, fix our weathered compass, a raging thirst we can't refresh, a map, some salt, make us kill, a hope we can’t assess, let us struggle past duress, face each wave and rill, send us back if we regress, by flame or water to confess, devoured by men and kids, can we pass the test, hope that soon we’ll be set, where you eat your fill, settled in the inventive West, ringing open all the tills.
