Zada

I ask for a name, to shame your dull life, don't think me insane, your consoling groans, taste sweeter than wine, pity's not in my home, where do such lies lay, you dance in time, whispering your evasions, silent in your bones, between you and the night, guards shout all aboard, this roaring train, brings us to the fire, makes me spit like rain, I'll make you atone, without troubling Aquinas, teach you how to love , dwell in burning flames, praise our holy bond, let illusions crave, bound by wire.

Yareli

Should you know better, wonder still if gripped, you read his letters, wiser than the phone, sense in your finger tips, you wear a little gown, Aretha at your request, moves roll off your hips, drinking San Miguel best, forget enduring heroes, awaiting ships, the sun is going down, feels like your butress, but you laugh and skip, plenty of time to rest, dance a bar lovers tune, enhance all you've hid, the Fleet is back again, act like a little kid.

Xandra

Race through a field of corn, my lover asks, dance you were never born, an altar to pray upon, how can you live like that, heart beats without sound, I want to call form, roar like a big cat, am not a fool forlorn, flee a love that's sad, no kids on the latch, my loving isn't bad, spirits perform ancient charms, forget our little chats, gallop to a perfect sun, run before a following storm, its not an easy task, to ride freight trains home, adjust my Ray Bans.

Vicky

A needle truth is never easy, it sparkles where lies end, to always gild the lily, is there ever a time, that forever tends, to claim we're all fine, bites the hand that deserts us, cadges off our friends, when they confer illusion, light shines our Valentines, hot brown days send, tidal boats to the skyline, absence is a lost release, even as we set, fire to every belief, we don't mind betraying hopes pretend, if they ask us why, say it's in the sand.

Ulla

Waiting for the train, a cloudy day a breeze, there's a tidal spray, you never really own, what's gone to seed, in these solid Ocean towns. long journeys nerves frayed, its gone half past three, he won't wave goodbye again, am cool but turn , when he closes the gate, still feel my stomach churn, me who'll take the blame, through windows in the rain, looking out over the Bay, me who shouts too firm, he'll always make me pay, let him go and burn, love in stupid ways.

Tacey

She measures a distance beaten, by public telephones, across fields of blue wheat, she won't bathe in wine , isolated but not alone, lives by a water chime, a granny rolls up sleeves, like the book she holds, her rifle next to the sheets, what better cure is a cry, to surrender perfume soaked, a lover from old times, her drink is whisky neat, ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne, she whispers her feelings, secrets like lemons and lime, flow from her garden wall, she doesn't care for time, carrying this load.

Stella

Eyes beat like fireflies, who is the fool, dancing on the bread line, they ask me to play, this Sunday in June, face Up to past games, sunlight on the lilac, turns purple and cool, little faith in signs, crazy side of the Bay, they want me to muse, how they've been betrayed, our family's demise, the money tooled, burned thru their lives, don't ask me to say, every meeting's a duel, am not cut out that way, know whats been done.
