Catherine

II I need another home, assist me to say, what you know is gone, all I need to do, get rid of the waste, seek out the new, even in troubled zones, there's solace every day, happens if I'm alone, the sea is lemon blue, bars play football games, there is always food, here in my bones, love will find a way, shows how much I know, cherished by the few, with no thought for gain, giving is the only truth, help me rise again.

Bridie

Can’t you see why, accept that we're frozen, instead of constant deny, stare at loose laces, mouth a stupid token, memorise soft phrases, sing your favourite lines, our time's done with roses, there is no lullaby, gone our kid's faces, neither shrunken nor spoken, lost at their places, near a hospital bedside, hold onto love's bonus, clouds sail the sky, you blew over the traces, don't care for solace, spare us our graces, what lies unbroken.

Aria

For each little bit of me, if anyone enquires, I won’t let them see, life isn't done by phone, doesn't sound like a choir, why should anyone groan, my small cup of whiskey, brighter than the fire, will put me in key, I know what I know, forget poisoned desire, just leave me to glow, whoever needs certainty, alaways asking for hire, maybe they'll get a peak, if someone moans, says that I perspire, watch out for their bones, come down on their jiminy, sing high on the wire, pray for serendipity, I'm no burst tyre.

Zoey

I stand in afternoon sunlight looking at the dead, wonder if they're alright colors of the early spring, is it something i've said between Me and his amber need, grass is green before night, geese fly overhead, my vision appears on overdrive, do some wear a ring, sloping, honking, to the Year ahead, kidding me stood perspiring, why I chose to fight, should kick him out instead, a burden to my flight standing in that yard looking, solemn at those whose tread, sung me all my comfort, all the love they blessed.

Yana

A tune as sweet as sunday, to settle in our bones, help us bless the way , we sit on side fair game, leave us well alone, all our friends the same, before they make us face, bitter seeds they've sown, at least show us grace, my eyes have gone tame, all the love we've known, turn it into shame, how we need to praise, when you deal with stones, that crack and wash away, won't make a gaunt face, use fake promissory notes, a moon let's us slay, your callow jokes.

Xareni

Will they bind my feet, use me in the old ways, put chains around my knees, i leave it upto you, in your stupid craze, to get me far from view, as memory of home recedes, and other houses merely fade, who will hear me weep, forget those somnolent crews, with eyes as big as graves, no one else will do, in gardens of St Bedes, acts of love confer grace, bypass all uncertainty, don't ignore the few, when we struggle to face, how to play this tune, strew kindness to our sleep, bring askance to our days, let us learn to recieve, a voice in golden haze.

Winnie

Places south east of love, what it means to be, sunk deep in the dust, no windmills on hills nearby, just a little yellow scree, what else would you find, take a measure or a glug, you can’t wriggle away, escape this parchment trust, give a small collective cry, why build heaps like these, what purlieus they prescribe, it just won't do to Cuss, think of water running free, life sometimes needs a plug, look at these empty skies, are we raised on the cheap, I am only asking why, we can't live by the sea ?
