Flora

Don't leave with someone else, from this house of sinners, lies won't seal our debts, please spell out why, you are at your limit, can't even face the night, let me take the test, get us some credit, leavened by peace or rest, to be like a child who enjoys each instant, makes me feel enlightened, perish awful nests, bones of saints for relics, loved by only friends, there's blessing in my cry, a love in middle distance, where my fears take flight, blown on sweet incense.

Esme

Then you wave ta ra, it sometimes makes me shiver, I die sitting at the bar, you say I am a fool, to give a little quiver, you'll be back soon, takes you tell are rotten, stories of ports and rivers, other lives you've scarred, my image's just a spool, something you deliver, bottles, tar, tidal floods, pictures from afar, between passage as my lover, left like a door ajar, forgive this poor fool, somewhere she remembers, when they drain the pool, you won't be living.

Dana

Smoking a lucky star, chasing numbers, always swimming out too far, the same calendar sisters say, how we wondered, she'd make a great play, her great beating heart, lived near the wetlands, then she bought a car, sped into the fray, her face bewildered, would give anyone a race, right from the start insisted, we watch her skid park, she hit the cliff gates, her laughter gone still, almost ten years to date, love always hungers.

Chloé

In a supermarket yard, her lovely face stretched, washed by rain and dark, shining and decent, the trolleys are fetched, where the bums frequent, she walks across, where they make bets, a spirit of great spark, comes here to to assess, it's a rare frequence, not put to the test, when clearing this park, to be at her best, she shops at The Ark, but'll never forget them, life bursts with interest, unlike polished gems, the hymn of all vagrants.

Bella

Lonely as this fools game, you don't know what to do, who you have to pay, the same with pasting rouge, when others look for praise, how you ought to know, just when you say, somwone give me a tow, the punter turns up late, how they break your bones, think if you hesitate, won't leave you alone, forget about their pay, duties come with stones, they'll just have to wait, I need time not groans, stories to write and create, at easy depths not shallows, blow smoke find a mate.

Avery

The house is in ruins, clouds billow out the sky, who will bring us truth, we all die intestate, however lawyers lie, it’s better than commensurate, even God is not immune, when money's put aside, but he won't be duped, coal burns in the grate, he sees how they cry, crabbed fingers on paper plates. it isn't me you fool, putting gold in their tide, seeking out lost tunes, am not yet a wooden crate, their poisoned eyes alight, debts have come too late, summons our different hues, while we laugh and cry, bring all my lovers too, tell them resign.

Zuri

Do you remember the sea, the swell and the spray, our dance of summer holidays, now the kids have flown, gone away, making their own homes, we drop to the beach, at the end of the quay, all our loving of Thebes, oh yes there's also gloom, suddenly drained, wonder where time has gone, laughing you grab my feet, guide me where we lay, my troubles cease, I'm a windblown soul, we rest in the lee, embrace secrets of the old, horizons like these.
