You know how to give, say you don’t need, a place to live, this is no child’s game, on how to please, chasing after your days, what about the kids, with all their little needs, would you see them adrift, golden lies can't negate, what you spin or sneeze, why blow it all away, all your woven fibs, are they just a wheeze, to bang down the lid, no wonder fools hesitate, to bring you gifts. what you might resuscitate, living life by drips.

Nula

You who’re always light, spares me all the doom, won’t ever see me cry, within a sea of sharks, your smile arrives on cue, beams while I lark, gives me a crass disguise, a lover of buffoons, tries to make me wise, I walk like a tank, to the try on cube, my hair unwashed lank, it blows around your eyes, behind TV's fake news, across a bridge of sighs, you're no dismal crank, your spirits lift the room, know I’ll always thank, what you call the issue.

Mathew

Bring me a sweet sign, paint dusk constant blue, curtail your eyes in flight, come near to me I groan, on this ship of turpitude, no one dies alone, we sail among the isles, gently light the fuse, make prayers of our lives, steer an even course, lulled by sweet perfume, temptation’s all we know, you are my even sight, more than any muse, only you can decide, what is worth growing old, how to bring such news, to lives feeling cold, night time sings our truth.

Lenny

You’re lucky to pass my way, exercise where we congregate, no one here is brave, don't worry I’m not a seer, neither fool nor knave, I value life not fear, to broken laws we pray, define ourselves as stowaways, be gentle with your say, I can still drink beer, even if it generates, a mildly vicious atmosphere, bells ring out for play, rather than enslave, in this yard we delegate, other stuff brings tears, so we scream defibrillate, let other bums come near, you and me won’t wait.

Kevin

You dance in the tide, your fame is just beginning, I want you for a bride, Mother says stay true, she is not forgiving, for love running smooth, tobacco blonde full of lies, fresh alive and kicking, says you’ll skin me alive, if there’s any gift to you, it’s not in that one’s bidding, says you have no curfew, says she knows all right, when you demand everything, sunlight, water, sky, your love a fleeting shadow, swimmer’s heads are dipping, don't melt me lemon blue, God knows I’m slipping.

Jan

In the passage a light, for those who want to pray, her youngest suffers at night, some places are a sty, behind the lip of alley ways, where the freighters tie, she always looks for sighs, somewhere safe contained, away from terrible sights, her brain is fried, you'd expect that anyway, the way life entwines, all our stillness 'till we die, no one is to blame, if we dream of islands, wait for lamps to shine, the chapel's sweet gaze, a loving gentle fire, accepts our ancient flame.

Isla

I'll stick with you, if I'm not too frayed, stop all this foo foo, don't make me groan, like a special case, in a yellow spring coat, I'll borrow you the moon, even Church and its slates, you'll beat these blues, we are never alone, pearl doves at the gate, I’ll make you a throne, tell me the truth, if you’re so great, why treat me like a ruin, want a cosy home, let’s you lie in state, you better get moving, love does not wait.
