Don't fall at anyone's cue, sing on the wire, you always pay your dues, life isn't a stone, taken to the fire. why should you atone, whoever speaks the news, ask who’s for hire, question every truth, a philosopher to your bones, say poison's for desire, but not in your home, read every book, believe all that inspires, let nothing be overlooked, give sympathy but not alone, why be a denier, fools always play on hope, for each little piece of you, in case anyone enquires, leave only the barest clue, why make you a liar ?

Zaylee

Under a moon that creaks, listening to the space, he turns to me and speaks, this is not your tune, he says, the rhythms are too crude, notes stuck in between, he hesitates, knows where I've been, Paris and sunlit avenues, somewhere in Spain, all the crass interludes, wrapped in a cotton sheet, he pulls at my traces, my long legs and knees, outside a Magnolia blooms, the bed's like a cradle, love comes around too soon, somehow he squeezes, all life from my face, rescued from the sea, he's going to pay

We live or die in here, the first one offers wine, others circle near, bereft of drama intense stars, our dreams reach high, the journey’s never are, the moonshine here, is lit with troubled light, no one hides their fear, somewhere there's a mark, another wonders why, we resist such happy starts, bitter lemon tears, soak the lonely night, dabger's lurking near, forget our shining cars, they won’t hear us sigh, we wait before the arc, walls of fire and ice.

What do you care, that they rue my face, as if you’d understand, aoft tunes blue trees, the web-like trace, spins soft on the breeze, you still need to share, heaven's kissing place, you put me in there, enchained to the sea, the same as your gaze, anchors bind my feet, hard to know what's fair, is your voice raised, your lips that snare, across sandust sheets, no one's fate, can rest sugar sweet, it's not allowed, to sing my praises, are you aware, I count the days?

Wanda

Your face like a drone, somewhere far from ecstasy, tells me all I know, far many a time, the daily conspiracy, our life's on the line, your mouth a cruel loan, that a body pulls free, rests on your bones, on Sunday's drink wine, a white tablecloth seizef, love in this ugly clime, every death a footnote, flags dance in trees, float on ocean stones, our house besides the sea, at the bottom of the road, brings us some fantasy, our bodies list and groan, let us dare to free, angels coming home, alive for all eternity.

Verity

What dreams have we kept, they ask us the ghosts, sat on bar stools bereft, leave us alone thank you, our mouths do not coax, the sounds of grim news, we sail on the crest, if they call us dopes, still dancing no less, do what we say we'd do, faces strong as stone, we don't heed your views, stuff learned to test, carry tiny worms of hope, deep within our breasts, you won't make us rue, carry all we know, sunlit Streets Avenues, we hope you mean well, asking how we'll cope, does it really help, measuring our bones?

Ula

Who would dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, listening to the sea, I catch his eyes snake, they dance on thorns, as if my life's a fake, each day of uncertainty, I protest in my calls, absence is all he feels, who wants to take, a fear of being torn, so I watch and wait, if someone asks me, a penny for your thoughts, I'd say infinity, doubts fog my days, I wonder if I'm born, don't know what to say, he buys a cup of coffee, what else been's bought, this isn’t me, can't I walk tsll ?
