Destiny

Sweet talk makes me curl, say enough now Basta, am never just your girl, silken wraps you've thrown, stories that collapse, face moulded like a stone, plates occasionally hurled, nothing holds you fast, drives your work not care, life is just a loan, if you think that crass, worry on your own, you're not perturbed, if my time has gassed, keep the flag furled, I'll dance on brown chairs, make everyone laugh, raise my eyes to the air, Daddy stay there or burn, put love on the gas, let the flame whirr, I'm not the past.

Charlotte

Nothing left to negotiate, fortify your boots, make good other escapes, they're only clowns, who bring you news, say you're on your own, reason comes too late, to heal their broken looks, every legend needs to wait, you're not a rolling stone, want to know the truth, don’t worry about the phone, if you make such waves, it shouldn't bother you, will always have your say, separate the clones, leave this bluest bayou, you’re not coming home, when Oceans roll and sway, welcome them with food, step closer to the flame, plenty more in you.

Bethany

Seeks explosive release, in what she cannot find, nothing seems to please, she won't hear good news, love is just a grind, a cover-up for truth, with ahint of blasphemy, she doesn't do sublime, why givw them a treat, triea to hide the Blues, any nourish to make wise, asks who's there for you, shakes impatiently car keys, December's out of mind, work’s no Odyssey, chained to bitter tunes, haunting family crimes, she'd stoke another feud, forget any sense of ease, of justice place or time, the path to any freedom, another clock to wind.

Amelia

Tell me, tell me why, I'm like a burden shared, my lips dissolve their cries, who says run stay clear, remember fogotten hurt, avoid such vale of tears, am such a beautiful sight, had better take care, bells ring out at night, my life contains relief, in a shiny chiffon skirt, puts strong men to sleep, I walk a woman going by, through a city bared, each ones searches my eyes, throw flowers at my feet, roses for my hair, I am asked to entreat, scatter perfume on the air, to sing my song here, in darkness by green turns, how I sparkle first.

Zadie

A worn-out empty feeling, hot kitchens bad aches, something's leaking, he brings me the news, with his doctor’s face, seems he knows the truth, but I long for the sea, nothing makes me fazed, more than a bad dream, looking for something new, I will fky away, unshackle those Delta Blues, show it on the street, how I'll work and save, more to me than belief, won't be left in perdue, falling like the rain, dance down broken avenues, nothing sends me keening, I'll be born again, laughter fills my being, prancing sunny days.

Yana

What it is to fly, within a screaming gale, no use trying to tie, down on my bones, I never look for fame, wonder at myself alone, studying a time, when everything fails, I search for style, it's hard to atone, when sometimes there's shame, contrition drags us home, flip a coin study sky, talk of finding sail, I always enjoy a cry, sip wine from broken cones, discard desolate mail, throw stones at our ghosts, nothing's worse than jail, time forsakes the while, catch us on the trail, how brightly we smile.

Xolani

I dream of his class, silken war torn, listening to him gasp, struggling without scorn, broken unsought, makes me feel reborn, removing the traps, dancing on thorns, he’s a modern-day iconoclast, what have I caught, riding this storm, useless dime a penny thoughts, you say it overlaps, now that he's gone, hiding under Burlap, at the church next door, I'll remove his form, love hits the floor, he broke his fast, I fed him corn, now I’m aghast, shaking unsure.
