Romy

Who knows if she's right, when she can demand anything, sunlight,water,sky, like grey sea off Martha's shank, her smile arrives in a sling, beams where my heart sank, she's never left a family’s side, but comes here to sing, a woman who has to fight, her lungs like a tank, that blows through any ring, bursts open doors of banks, next to me like a bride, her lips shine like shillings, around a constant sigh, her days are never lank, nails me with that smile, too assured let's be frank. tobacco blonde full of lies, a dancer whose fame decides, many a famous night, who dances in the tide.

Qiana

Times that brought her here, a yellow light of feasting, she dreams of winter fairs, won't let anyone condone, what passes for ease, harsh memories a broken home, more than any fear, she'll do what's needed, holding back the tears, love seeps around her throat, it reaches her knees. trembles in a toll of water, lets go a life of drear, knows what she's leaving, stuff fought over and cleared, a used loading stone, she throws to the sea, swears she'll never atone, fixed like an overseer, she cries upon release, wonders if anyone hears, life settles easy.

Phoebe

Bells ring out the night, will we ever see home, like a song beseeches why, the Americas near or far, by mountains in the gloam, where we'll make our mark, is land within our sight, a warm embrace of domes, give me your sweet sign, love only turns to tar, when dancers lose their soul, everything becomes stark, in darkness and green light, our lives are surely formed, you always shine so bright, no wonder you're a star, do not need a semaphore, to guide us where we are, through seas alone.

Ophelia

She's left the family gate, but comes back here to sing, everyone knows she's great, she can beckon any time, next to me like a fling, around a constant why, voyages to the olden days, dust her golden sling, her almond eyes serrate, the song within her sight, shines upon her ring an old man and his wife, birds call to conjugate, aware of coming Spring, she puts seasons on the slate, sweeps the moon with wine, her audience is crying, says she'll always be mine, to them she's everything.

Nayeli

Face down terrible shades, no star can fall shor, to meet outrageous claims, you who wonder why, I can walk the walk, admire these cotton stripes, this no child’s game, every ship sails caulked, chasing my days, it's you who always lie, golden trinkets small talk, spin your crass disguise, glad tidings on the way, your hay bale's forked, hits anyone on the make, only fools can try, treat me like a Stork brother why don't you fly, I'm no sleepy dork.

Mila

what's left of Mila, she laughs oddly dumb, says she'll be a gonna, knows it's stupid to lie. just the line she hums, never figures out the timing, what about that offer, she drinks a little Rum, smokes rollups to follow, won't issue any more sighs, children late for school, skirt what's on the line, you might call her callow, more like a beaten drum, a candle's fading tallow, a winter's morning light. a decision beyond the ruins, its the strangest sight, to see beyond serfdom.

Lucy

Am not your bite, like the big sea, rolls tides in yellow light, what about your lover, with all her surly needs, has she got your number, to bring you to this site, if it's in your creed, celebrate what's yours in life, let a cliff of wonder, be witness to your ease, bathed in a high slumber, stones flowers birds in flight, know enough to see, what is your right, waves would carry you in, why wait for their levee, don't make it spinning fibs, lifetimes of greed.
