Nora

You'd gamble any right, your daughter says, including unforgiven nights, drained you like a drain, the times you swayed, in falling snow or rain, within slate blue eyes, you could never contain, the reasons why, letting go is the same, were you born that way, smoking by a naked flame, her grin is like a prize, a chuckle on Saint’s day, like she's run a mile, unhook the gas cage, make tea on the range, bring whiskey out today, there's ghosts to lay.

Molly

Standing out of reach, he says don't leave me, am crying for the sea, can anyone entertain, such unforgiving need, like someone derailed, I say just take it easy, what do you want to see, staring at our destiny, dunes shift on the beach, in his eyes you can feel, a twisted knife of agony, I hum a stupid refrain, how to enjoy freedom, when promises are made, a life of safe passagee, rises up before me, pretend it don’t matter, what might have been.

Lia

Am pretty sure of what to do, around your knees, a tattered sheepskin warms you, birds cling to the ferry, passion no longer creases me, we hardly go on holiday, your lover and your son, say I'm not easy, well, what's done is done, interesting but uncaring, you'd never fight for me, water brings other yearnings, which is sad but true, when orange lights the sea, I’m not thinking of you, this night of coming liberty, I'll drink Merlot and breathe, lend you to your family, set my spirits free.

Kaylee

You laugh on the avenue, but it’s not the heat, deserts delight you, you’d say that fools, always miss the beat, when looking at ruins, you grow in certitude, like an oasis green, before the sun and wind, you'll sail again soon, like the falling leaves, when autumn is due, poverty yellow and blue, destroys wilder dreams, brings no solace to you, inside you hum a tune, turn your head serene, will capture other routes, spirit rise from deep .

Jane

light swingS towards me, along the evening beach, . sardine boats bob at sea, at the raging hotel bar, I hear rain and keen, drum on the duck boards, we drink unhappily, you bring a pot of tea, absurd false pleasantry, don't try to condone, another hateful breach, to note we are alone, I want to somehow feel, but this opacty, splits like lightning, cuts me to the bone, tightens new dungarees, no one's coming home, only stairs to creep.

Indie

All these other issues, deny her earthly needs, makes me reach for tissues, they hang like skeletons, with lip sticky greed, as if she's in a peloton, standing by the fixtures, you say just let it be, love’s to teach my sister, not particularly elegant, her frugal solidarity, breaks any monetary sustance, a manifest delicious, she serves its plain creed, the men kept at distance, salty tears seem relevant , her eyes gaze out to sea, a sole ring of psychophants, lie scattered at her feet.

Helena

Can your love ring, eyes dance like fireflies, in the way you sing, look around our home, explore all you like, why dust settles alone, say thats a good thing, it's never a sure sign, to say how you think, Sundays on the roam last of summer's wine, remember all the gone, love more than anything, skips in the tide, doesn't ask for blessing, resting on our bones, a thousand buttered nights, make the waves roll, our plans side by side.
