Please don’t let them see, why you have to be, so fawningly sweet, your brown subdued tone, simple soul and shady tree, hides this crowded boat, no song of the sea, only chants of make believe, blinds our eyes to destiny, who hasn't sorted bones, this swarm of human seed, given only what we know, a terrible wound of territory, borders and sunlit scrutiny, breaks what's not retrieved, these ships bear our home, hands bear sullen greetings, who will make it known, how we sail to history ?

Willa

When you talk coastlines, dance released in the rain, who pays the fine, smile in the mirror, wait for a dismal train, stand beside you and shiver, you waste my time, nearing home you say, all words to me are lies, proud of your honour, an ubbridgable terrain, you dismiss me the sinner, but are you a child, who suffers more than pain, is belief your terrible why, you ask who delivers, Buster you're the highway, I am the giver, don't trouble me again.

Vicky

long days no blessing, for drinkers and vagrants, all others gone missing, sunlight on the waves, she rushes to this oasis, ignoring tourist games, an island is her mission, where cruise ships lay, she calls it deliverance, hears the cies and hails, beach people like wraiths, dance around goldh caves, besieged by other issues, kids are not to blame, she doesn't do kissing, makes an unlit foray, to convent's sweet gaze, it's a gentle escape, to touch ancient flame.

Ully

Do we ditch or burn, a love like gas, the dial turned down, crack enough jokes, so Ma won't collapse, somehow she's bespoke you won’t need an urn, to see my ashes pas, a lesson I've learned, bars and broken homes, my words get crass, they never travel alone, may you keep the flame, now then hold me fast, show me life's gamed, if you’re on your own, celebrate my best, care for my bones, remember me and laugh.

Isn't it good to know, by travel gourds or wine, when our brim fills up, you may wonder, what you dream to shine, when what's fleeting gone, do we resist such moaning, figuring out the line, dancing on the combing, if you stand by water, sun shining on my life, it never reaches October, in that luminous flow, your lips are my guide, how beautiful the load, passion always binfs us, long as birds are flown, brighter in the darkness, love always found.

Siobhan

A crescent moon at Winter, I know what is to love, but always be a sinner, surrounded by icy streets, I turn my face towards, the freezing gentle sea, if the cold light kills us, my time is one of trouble, dance to different drummers, are they out of reach, a friend holds a dove, no matter what I preach, across the dun lit hills, my shadow's like a moth, I ascend the rills, a Catholic flame and keeper, my Ma pines for summer, but cannot get the reason, why I act so tough.

Rae

at starboard he hails me, I am his lady, all there is to be, hunted slant of the mast, shadows dance on crates, crescent moon at Christmas, surrounded by auxiliaries the radar blinks and wails, lights blinks eratically, wires ripples on their cast, he's oh so wild and brave, wven when danger's passed, we're racing on the sea, slamming through waves wind hides my folded dreams, please hold her fast, what is there to save, she's warm and snug at last, I'm aching for a baby
