Undine
What you create,
with me as your creed,
leaves me intestate,
a tune with broken tones,
in that dreadful scene,
when you left home,
you didn't hesitate,
to polish the dream,
shine the moon’s oblate,
blow the wind cold,
it knows what you;ve seen,
the clouds grow bold
the clock turns again,
don’t dance in the cream,
show a generous face ,
like you’re never old ,
be brave enough to scream,
don’t care what I’ve done,
settle it with me.

The way you hook,
when your lover tells lies,
money you pooled,
now out on your own,
in a poor welcome light,
sunlight on the stones,
he tells you its ruined,
you don’t know why,
you're 38 and cool,
but no more wrongs,
it's useless to cry,
the knife's on the bone,
always too soon,
forever to sigh,
to think what she’s doing,
but whatever has gone,
she’ll walk in the lilac,
say hello to song,
spring shoos her home.

Sweet talk makes you curl,
enough to say Basta,
never just a candy whirl,
silken wraps you've thrown,
always collapse,
eyes alight like stones,
plates occasionally hurled,
nothing holds you fast,
makes you torn or scared,
life is what you own,
if they think that crass,
consider them gone,
you're not perturbed,
now that time has passed,
you're not that girl,
dancing on brown chairs,
singing songs that match,
you say you don’t care,
keep it yourself or burn,
put your love on gas,
let the flame flare,
make it last.

We love this cosy light,
my life contains no grief,
a yellow robe pulled tight,
I dream the dawn awake,
fresh from gentle sleep,
give my limbs a shake,
I walk as in paradise,
through these city streets,
they scream at me why,
desolate lonely jakes,
try to ring my feet,
slash or turn my gait,
rob me of my sight,
make the wise entreat,
safe passage at this night,
wait for sunset to drain,
our departure to the sea,
hear us as we perorate,
love brings belief.

Queenie
In a room that creaks,
listening to the rain,
she turns to speak,
this is not my tune,
she says,
the song is too crude,
the walls are washed green,
the moon gyrates,
it knows where she's been,
Europe's sunlit avenues,
not somewhere seedy,
soaked in the Blues,
wrapped in a cotton sheet,
she examines her nails,
her long gait and knees,
outside's a curfew,
the bed's like a cradle,
you can smell her perfume,
you can smell the sea,
sometimes she rages,
from a life uneven,
love marks her day.

Pammy
Americans of note,
look to mountains and ruins,
give vent to your voice,
lovers only hesitate,
at the family’s crucible,
she's here to be great,
figures to join the dots,
sheds a stone or fewer,
scripted bigger than any plot,
next to the golden gate,
blue waters run with news,
she blushes on sunny days,
joshes with the big shots,
always being cute,
film is all they’ve got,
money men of lower grades,
let them fix their feuds,
her almond eyes like dates,
she always pays her dues.
