Throw away my kitchen gloves, take your time, you're no longer in love, remember which tune, trips on broken spikes, it still rings true, heaven's a cover, when you reach a time, sings within your blood, I'll hum it for you, make the cockrell cry, hear the wind go boom, stay with those who scrub, try to live generous lives, who never get the rub, like I will never rue, the miseries of your crime, whatever happens to you, listen to what's above, drink a drop of wine, fly like a released dove, pray for reasons why >

Ollie

In a room that speaks, listening to the rain, she pulls away from sleep, this is not my tune, she says, the piano is too crude, notes are stuck in between, a she moon hesitates, it knows where she's been, Paris and sunlit avenues, memories of Spain, free of all interludes, wrapped in a cotton sheet, she selects black lace, covers long legs and knees, outside sits a Magnolia tree, her bed's like a cradle, she ignores how it creaks, sometimes in the season, she regards a life shaken, sits still hears the sea, love marks her day.

Natalia

We live or die in here, the first one offers wine, others circle near, bereft of dreams lonely stars, our debts are high, the journey’s never are, moon bright clifftops shear, lit by hidden lights, who can hide their fear, someone makes a mark, another wonders why, it beats in unhappy hearts, ice as bright as tears, chill our ghostly ride, danger is forever near, forget their shining cars, they don’t see us cry, before we approach the Arc, we will cost them dear, deprived us of our rights, cool, considered, clear, we aim our fire.

Maggie

Dont forget you're better, than those you kiss, they can only stick together, they come here for booze, look like they're clipped, some are unhooked, strain to see my breasts, everything they miss, feel they aren't blessed, no time for Monday’s Blues, when they see my hips, study this thing called truth, forget ny easy duress, I'm as tough as shit, play music only by request, look at all of you, does your heartbeat skip, if you take me for a fool, would it make you better, if I turned and stripped, steamed up your kettle, let the ropes go kid ?

Lily

What do you care, if worries stretch my face, you’d think it fair, the tunes in blue trees, say you need space, spun on the breeze, you still won't share, time that we framed, place who put me there, chained to inequity, hostile as your gaze, it's a hymn to serendipity, I know what's in the air, how your voice raises, when you're scared, down harried streets, trying to dodge fate, acting sugar sweet, you're not worth my glare, think you're so great, not even aware, how I pass the days?

Kara

Your face an empty zone, very far from ecstasy, tells all I need to know, far away in real time, the daily conspiracy, my life stutters the line, your mouth's a cruel loan, my words have worked free, keeps me on my toes, most days I drink wine, it's there to ease, you and other lousy swine, every lie a fine toothcomb, dancings bears around honey, smiles like stone roses, our house besides the sea, bottom of a sand road, begets some other fantasy, your body lists and groans, murder dares me to be, an angel coming home, I can watch on TV.

Joanie

What dreams do we keep, they ask us the ghosts, sat on bar stools seats, leave us alone we say, our skin might need soap, but we're here to stay, we are not upbeat, if they splay out the rope, what will be will be, do what we do anyway, face as strong as stones, throw all our cares today, music from the deep, carries tiny rays of hope, deep within our state, don't ask us to play, tunes we do not know, life is a great big cake, we all need our sleep, stuff we use to cope, if you could only see, the way we rattle home.
