Zizi

Sometimes you can’t explain, the hurt you feel inside , the way his face fails, my lover, proud, unbowed, no longer hails the sky, but dances in the clouds, nothing gets in the way, but the retreating light, or how his eyes play, a man of rage unbowed, who beat out his time, but hated crowds, once he jumped the rail, found places safe to lie, many a time the jail, when he went down, behind a confessional sigh, his face blue as dawn, did I once ask why ?

Yolanda

Who do you want to suffer more, me or your blessed lover, outside the Cafe' Du Course, it’s a perfect sunny evening, kids looked after by mother, love is within my keeping, all your little more’s, in life between the covers, show me the open door, if you think by bleating, you're wiser than others, let's forget your cheating, Campari is an unwritten law, September smothers, the life you had before, moonlight finds us sinking, to last bells of summer, friends around us seeking, when to close the shutters.

Ximena

Days of late summer fire, nights are black and warm, stars come out like ice, the love of dreaming, especially when not torn always tugs at me, no matter what desire, winds hold a gentle force, they carry all our sighs, love is not for scheming, we lay our smart clothes, to dance across the sea, cannot trace the tides, tell us wehere we're from, no matter who conspires, in the yellow evenings, your eyes like a storm, a name for very breathing, written as a charm.

Whitney

Don't make a fuss, they carry yellow lists, do not try to love, hearts ruled by stone, where do you fit, a place they call home, if you need a crust, be prepared for this, believe me you're dust, go to shed the load, drag on get a grip, knowledge never eats alone, hide the semell of musk, refuse the middle distance, alter all they insist, quietly leave this road, leave them here in bits, bullies never hear groans, in a house of misfits.

Vida

The wind blows silent, across our fences, uncaring who it caresses, starts in darkened cellars, casts it own spell, scent of the mad jealous, does it salute us, a candle to a friend, what brings us the fire, across our barren lands, nothing is more relative, to know where we stand, will the world recognise, our fight to the end, face down men's surprises, we carry magic letters, pretend fear has no smell, tell everyone remind us, we're better than them.

Ully

Smoking a cigarette , a lover's old face appears, fulsome not lonely yet, geese rise and hail, autunm skies without fear, unlike seasons we failed, a cold water flatlet, he always cheered, to make it the very best, the colours of his sail, no-one could get near, he really had me nailed, a man who wouldn’t let, flame fold into fear, who shared jokes and bets, but worried by the claims, brought him back here, he thought he couldn’t fail, I had to be crystal clear..

Theresa

She hears a strange whisper, the sound of a removal van, thinks of all her sisters, each move smoother now, no one faults her tan, in every room she’s known, wears a plastic hair clip, bars are full of men, happy off their last trip, they rise like supernova, walks the streets with them, among sea green clover, barefoot prays for hips, her dancing days are done, will miss the Tango dips, rather than having fun, to find this new drum, wonders if she’s driven, if he'll ever come ?
