Gerrie

I'm sat here aghast, shuddering at what's bought, thinking this cannot last, my partner asks, a penny for your thoughts, how to broach this task, love to see him dance, jigging about on thorns, a modern day iconoclast, Oh it's useless this cast, i'd rather be caught, on the next downward path, other lovers spring the trap, me struggling to be born, sweating with each fast, I dream of a better class, silken not torn, he'll come around again, broken unsought.

Farah

Oh to be free, says my lover on high, between you and the sea, no fire or blue ozone, tweaks sun's early rise, can hamper his tone, his cigarette sweeps, like a bird on the line, all that lays before me, he thinks we're as one, the cabin's early light, is kind but cold, such hopes of eternity, are not very wise, garnerin hopes of epiphany, can't you be done, I want to cry, dawn flights are so long, leave traces of night.

Emily

We stand with her ashes, laid bare at the ferry, a rain cut sky in slashes, she adds a final note, banishes worries we carry, said life is but a joke, thanks God for her cash, what's not to find lovely, bequeathed golden tracks, more than any other bloke, walking in glum reverie, laughed the way we spoke, In all manner of fashion, love has its own tributaries, contained in tweed jackets, Orange kids wait and smoke, proud at the dawn jetty, cheeks pale as they blow, her elegant epiphany.

Della

How you contemplate gain, acting like some seer, blowing like a hurricane, so far gone, asking rivers to part here, honour your holy bones, tell animals leave the plain, kneel weeping at our fear, you are just a fake, last winter on tidal stones, everyone sat close to tears, waiting for visions to show, souls don't work that way, a trapeze of fallen years, eyes try to fnd a space, we won't hesitate, denounce your passage near, all the madness you create, suddenly is clear.

Cassidy

It's a sin to wish you gone, only children dance, in years so far from home, Callas warms the terrace bar, Campari, Raybans, chance, each admire your shining car, ask for grace beyond our bones, ship you back to France, regrets yet barely done, my senses ache from afar, sellophane shimmers in your distance, cannot name your star, leave messages on your phone, you with electric prance, evening tints your clothes, what makes you call again, feel awkward at your glance, burning ahes light a flame, fury in my balance.

Brooklyn

I wake to a lemon light, it's hard to be alone, my lover lies supine, everything now is all right, sun rises through the dawn, sometimes people cry, poets make verses by night, write in shabby clothes, take tea or whiskey by fire, my heroes look to Constantine, salt whirls a global tone, Swifts dive in yellow skies, his smile's a lovely flight, his dancing shakes my bones, wine consumes the loins, I don't want to dramatise, but apart from getting brown, not much else excites, morning covers my disguise, Oh I know I know, daytime brings new sights, hot days tidal shores.

Abi

An unruly little family, father's left on trains, others for the sea, was is it wish or dare, that life should remain, alive for us to share, mayve those lines too neat, does time get in the way, songs of an empty street, beyond the frosted glare, happy eyes in winter hail, snow dancing off our hair, wrapped up in Teralyne, our Ma never changes, laugh she used to say, a bed or bunk frezes, when no love's in play, whistle up childhood dreams, we miss them just the same.
