Katya

Face down terrible claims, no star can refuse, this outrageous Dame, you who want to try, Oh so full of virtue, should see my prison stripes, it's no child's game, whoever brings me news, are really chasing fame, I spin around such lies, my sequins string the blues, all's a crass disguise, if hardship's on the way, nothing's here to rue, everyone is on the take, only fools ask why, I'm with someone like you, tired of angry eyes, I scream the truth.

Janine

Am not your little drip, nor big sea, the yellow light tripped, you ask about my lovers, with all their surly needs, no one has my number, what I crave to live, as dearly as a creed, is know my own limits, that edge of wonder, being witness to believe, always worth the struggle, stones flowers pieces of drift, its enough to keep, what's within my gift, to enslave or encumber, a lifetime of greed, doesn't bear such trouble, love's never easy.

Your star is coming home, Singing to a police drone, in shelters you lie prone, why do you whisper love, on throwaway 'phones, ravaged face like a glove, saints reveal their bones, poems massage your loans, make you feel secure alone, pearl doves arch above, a lifetime given to moans, fly to those who give, fresh linen and sweet cologne, leaves you on the ropes, you wear a red raincoat, but know how to live, millions come and go, trying to find that gift, anchored in your soul.

Hailey

What might have been, just doesn't seem fair, for this life of ease, you gave me no clue, not even aware, how to weigh such news, like swirling a bad dream, your eyes flared, a stifled out scream, tell me the truth, is my voice slurred, do you need more proof, to drink on sad evenings, you don't care, even if I dance a treat, am no longer yourmuse, is it my thinning hair, don't sing me the blues, can you love my new teeth, do you think you dare, the way I aim to be, make you scared ?

Gina

Who needs a shrink, when a lover somehow, provides a little drink, all the mights we own, in a village full of clowns, turns daylight into stone, I know what they think he couldn't weild a plough, but has me on the brink, I'm beginning to show, now he's left the town, all the stuff we've sown, it only takes a blink, outrage at what I've done, a fallen woman glasses clink, I fear what they propose, though a whole summer down, sweat shines on my clothes, face like an ice rink, to shut off the sorrow, bars and noise and stink, will they ship me now ?

You appear stoned, your picture up in lights, scrawled on the wall, if love holds true, why make me fight, because they all love you, say you're not alone, know which bells to strike, beat or break my bones, they call you Miss Fortune, pretty before your time, they don’t get your blues, the screams down a ‘phone, dreams of paradise, a flame without a home, your big account of virtue, passes within my sight, the wind blows bad news, down the April line.
