Cristy

Do you know, what people feel, the ice in their bones, that splintered smile, nailed to the promontory, catches all your crooked life, don’t have to show, provide a door key, when your cigarette glows, you’d rob a child, in mountain streams, to get yourself a wife, who are you to bestow, what others dream, all stuff you’ve blown, say it'll be right, spin everything on a throw, your lies a river wide, now you have to go.

Billie

This is not the way, to let me know, what can open the gate, somethings missing, but you don’t follow, even tho'you’re listening, thoughts run like the Spey, same when the wind blows, Spring's come around again. other times you’re whistling, eyes bright as a crow, now I feel like kissing, you make the ground sway, like i'm being towed, the shore a tidal wave, rub together my mittens, laugh to hear your news, sea around us glistening, mist rises on the dunes.

Azana

Please look this way, but not at the ruins, hung out like purple drapes, a tired waiting game, I always play it cool, but dream of the day, whatever it takes, to drink wine at noon, you to remain, I can’t explain, there are no rules, that keeps me this way, seeping in the shade, dreaming of you, my thoughts drip like rain, are you made of clay, I howl at some moon, hope lets me celebrate, come back soon.

Zena

I wonder if she's right, to dream of the sea, dancing in the light, she’ll splash and parade, make faces at calumny, her soul works this way, shrouds of her delight, shake out release, time is her lightning, her eyes bear the fray, to denounce all reason, she wants away, she’ll go to the wire, before such entreaty, is tossed on the fire, carries no dismay, is done with feelings, what are they anyway, says she loves me.

Yelena

Songs are only half true, when you smell the Limes, on a windblown avenue, invent what you don’t know, forget the tunes that bind, feel them in your bones, try to stay aloof, sing about what’s right, give no one a clue, you’re not alone, these desolate nights, let others bellow, don’t rage and argue, it’s not a crime, wood fire will warm you, when the kids phone, in the cold evening light, tell them to keep going, just be kind.

William

Who knows if she's right, even when she's skimming, water, sky, sunlight, like the river off the banks, her smile arrives winning, where my lonely heart shrank, she never leaves a family’s side, but knows others will follow, did someone make her cry, her lungs are like a tank, she understands my limits, laughs at the pale shanks, next to me like a bride, her lips twist for filleting, why constant why, tobacco blonde full of lies, a lover who goes swimming, many a moonlit night, she dances in the tide, her fame is just beginning, nails me with that smile, fresh, alive, winning.

Vienna

The sun rises in steam, cars fill up their lanes, this won't wait 'till evening, beyond me the morning sky, still needs to frame, all that I carry inside, a rush down the freeway, coffee tastes the same, I need a good reason, so I wait in line, it matters what you say, not go off this time, my dawn novena, perches like a hurricane, bones anchored by heat, I know what’s not fine, in between times pray, ask for fake red wine, bars bring a sweetness, do I have to say again, it’s not my swollen feet, that carry your name.
