Emilia
Around a futile exercise yard,
try to guard your fears,
no need to spin them far,
light a path to heaven,
sail within the atmosphere,
inside this smoky hazy pen,
sew clothes for lonely spars,
know what's good for tears,
how to play your part,
it brings a strsnge presence,
to find everything that's here,
keep Junk at a distance,
fold a blanket beneath the stars,
pictures become suddenly clear,
dream of railway boxcars,
no need for quilted linen,
sunlight shifts on the pier,
liberty is there for asking,
your time is coming near.

Here's the question,
why on a secret phone,
behind a crushed request,
you endure whispers,
in hushed father's tone,
a tight but sore trespass,
the reason you’re like this,
flushed within your core,
to escape some hit list,
lemon bright with excuses,
say you've been honed,
to blow away insouciance,
your voice calls afresh,
no one wants to know,
a lonely time of penance,
you are careful of inquests,
face as blue as bone,
illicit daughter's cigarettes,
you smoke on your own.

There's no such release,
alone by the beach,
wondering who adores me,
wondering what to say
or searching how to be,
nothing here but trade,
I need to break free,
escape all these creeps,
forget my swollen feet,
where are the players,
eager to leave,
with me as their game,
ignore my rude testimony,
rejected offers please,
afford me some pity,
memories are La plage,
imaginings of the sea,
lemon blue by stages,
watch my epiphany.

You remember that tune,
Da take your time,
I'll hum it for you,
eyes that now haunt love,
forget all onerous lies,
draw water from a jug,
bleats his case for truth,
mysteries of his line,
they only live to rule,
rain ticks into a tub,
he shudders with the wine,
listens to the wind above,
bills tossed down avenues,
give early shipwreck signs,
ongoing family feuds,
tissues and body scrubs,
mark his decline,
makes him scared to blub,
he looks so frightened.

Restrained in my moans,
small wonder in this place,
heart beats against stone,
bus ticket's a burning fuse,
blown in by the rain,
he listens to my news,
laughs at all my groans,
the useless games,
needed to fend alone,
the foray of his truth,
shadows yesterday's blame,
clutches bars of chocolate chews,
a sea whipped home,
a tornado for my rage,
incarcerated lips intone,
bites at my leather glove,
the ribbons of a day,
swears his unfying love,
says he's praying again.

Don't leave it to someone else,
at this house of spirits,
resisting lies and debts,
have me crying alone,
pushed to my limits,
cursing your rottren bones,
sweet as a canvas flesh,
body chilled like a relic,
I'm loved by my friends,
hell's a cab ride home,
shake when thirst is lifted,
this is the last loan,
my concern at every instant,
escape his fate by shifting,
decisions to a river torrent,
rejoice in resurrection,
praise his life this minute,
your reprieve is unexpected,
raise that golden ticket.

Yesenia
Why tear me apart,
i'm the fool you say,
but you're not so smart,
say you'll fly my web,
ruin my fresh lace,
flee off the back step,
you look at the stars,
ask wouldn't it be great,
to have a wonder car,
my sanctity spent,
I'm poised but wait,
will play with his head,
times distance gone,
psychiatrists await,
swear my emotion is done,
i'll sell my bed,
powder my wrinkled face,
hide you in the shed,
I smile,hesitate.
