Maura

We share jokes and spit, with those who reappear, shadows rise in the mist, no one owns a crown, to be anchored here, we're like upside down, those of us who trust, always hold her dear, rivers she has crossed, in our Ocean town, not only light is clear, you know who is around, someone you can kid, who walks without fear, carries a hint of musk, everywhere she goes, she banishes tears, fights for her own, dispels failing years, singing songs a crust, voice sweet as a seer, seeps into dust.

Laila

Please don't ask me why, this lonely swimming pool, sits between me and sky, tell me it’s nothing, our days getting fewer, make me a better offer, songs on our wedding night, I believed uncouth, stuff you said you'd right, do you want me to suffer, with your bad dreams too, always acting the winner, sweetness calms evening light, our cabin's become a curfew, buttered dreams candlelight, don't act like your father, buying us with his cruise, treat me with some honour, why seek for my thighs, am i just a dude, won't dance at twilight, I’ve paid my dues.

Kaddy

Sometimes I ask why, can we ever be alone, our eyes on fire, my Ma says its shame, lights our sordid home, each sorry night and day, such rare foresight, the wind blows cold, stay here by my side, kids bear your name, you've let them roam, need to change lanes, when you hear me cry, hand me a hanging phone, it's not enough to sigh, buy some shiny nails, help me with the loans, let's fix up this place, no matter how we fight, bruise our yelloww bones, we can do this right, better than going.

Janice

Unhappy songs on my barque, funds still in the bank, vapour trails leave no mark, blown in on the Bay, a ticking of the crank, I might even stay, a peek inside the bars, blue air smells dank, won't be looking very far, what is there to say, my mind's already blank, maybe it's best this way, Oh you are a dog, no one else to thank, rolled me like a log, brought me to this state, left me a ham shank sailing out's my getaway, you’ll never know La, how hard a hammer can crack, won't see no door ajar, gas still in my tank.

Izzy

Why hang around the mall, sit down in the rain, hover at infirmary's door, you are never home, always at some game, what makes you roam, why ask all this for, when you stay the same, how to close the door, can't you let it go, salt away the pain, put yourself on show, you hold the floor, your face a savage shade, is love too raw, don't want to moan, but time is getting late, life is not a loan, it sticks in my craw, I cry out your name, you’re not here anymore, it's not the same

Hermoine

Fire and evening light, when you play my tune, always makes me cry, hanging on my phone, if it rings with blues, hear your lovely tones, this beach comes to life, golden sand soothes, greets the coming night, it helps defeat the loan, accepts what I do, even stuff hard to fathom, white picket fences lie, they never hail the news, keep me from all strife, gather what has gone, I somehow lost the glue, defeat being alone, you’re always very nice, cannot hide what’s true, I skip in the tide, maybe next a cruise

Hermoine

Fire and evening light, when you play my tune, always makes me cry, hanging on my phone, if it rings with blues, hear your lovely tones, this beach comes to life, golden sand soothes, glistens the evening light, it helps defeat the loan, accepts what I do, even stuff hard to fathom, white picket fences lie, they never hail the news, keep me from all strife, garner what has gone, I somehow lost the glue, defeats being alone, you’re always very nice, cannot hide what’s true, I skip in the tide, maybe next a cruise.
