Callie

I am silent as the breeze, we are leaving from Glasgow, eat pasta think about ringing, but i haven't got the bite, she is such a dismal cow, this old friend of mine, my new Italian lover you see, American Bars is what we know, a bit different from Barlinnie, where she spent time quietly, riding the insane show, now she goes to Disney, doesn’t really do serenity, thinks she'll carry on somehow, brightly shining at some party, heading south the train sleeps, like going around and round, i paint my face with ease, suits me to feel alone.

Belinda

I want to be set free, says my lover on high, a sense of blue conceit, between her hands and shore, she aurveys the sky, her cigarettes by the door, on a funnel gazing spree, any horizon seems bright, thinks she's a celebrity, her power is always more, kind but sheds no light, she names it mystery rope, it stands no scrutiny, always shows she's right, a short step to eternity, but what's underscored, is a racing certainty, harmony stands restored, when fires burn willingly.

Annie

Did you ruin her marriage, you'd gamble anything, to steer clear that passage, your daughter's aims, all her could have been's, debase your claims, was it any less savage, with others who scream, called you to the barrage, ragged clouds of rain, like a calendar deems, roll darkly off the plain, a smell of storm presages, dust across your schemes, your crazy damage, howling for terrain, chasing without cease, numbers you miscalculate, who needs your dreams ?

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.
