Freya

A cross for a sign, to where we bang along, he gives out a sigh, there’s a deal at Walmart, he pulls me along, takes hold of my arm, talks about why, we have to be strong, don't turn to crime his hair's a jump start, he hates being wrong, no one hears my part, head to the front aisle, filch our belongings, run out in plain sight, never easy alarmed, but his life's a clock, tied to the stars, says that he’s wise, but sings a sad song, the stitch in my side, is an open wound

Emily

Does anyone believe, this message in a jar, once used to be me, like something in a frame, my life has sped afar, things difficult to name, It's the one whod snrieks, clings to distant stars, hangs on childhood dreams, maybe this different age, sends me like a card, makes it all seem strange, you never filled my need, within thiss milky fog, even when I screamed, the crash of the waves, will carry me like cargo, a freight almost wreckage, all stuff you’re not.

Delilah

On your tramp ship at sea, I swear to the night, you won’t hear from me, like a chain saw, buzzing with lies, they hang your cabin door, my lost fidelity, between moon and sky, can you wonder why from the earth's poor, my terrible cries , raise the ocean's floor, you’ll see me in weeds, my lips blue tight, then you’ll be free, for now on the shore, I’ll do what's right, there’ll be no furore, you'll fear my eyes.

Clouds furl the sky, death brings no easy due, even when you die, who cares what’s fake, stuff burns around you, like wood in the grate, something deep inside, if it's not my perfume, makes you want to fly, forget barriers I raise, not to look a fool, try to stop your getaway, however much you lie, you must gift me too, act like a tide’s high, go on then remonstrate, it'll be the end of you, just go and sail away, be the last you do..

Beau

Since you've been away, there’s nothing left to do, but each night pray, gone on your fishing boat, see your face in whirlpools, act like a dreary one, spooked by each new day, surrounded by the blue, why can't you stay, always provide the hope, even when no need to, help me with the loans, the sea is turning grey, waves are rife with spume, please help me to say, I'm not good alone, you were never cruel, heave your lobster cones, come back soon.

Can't get ‘round the news, now you’ve ditched the car, why no one tells of truth, say you take the Metro, speak of broken parts, leave me with the loans, I haven't got a clue, where your savings are, don't know what to do , everything we call home, lies rusting on the tar, kids stare out the window, I sing some hopeless tune, trapped within my heart, have to find an avenue. you're gone from us Joe, am I just a tart, to put jelly on our bones, can only go so far.

We share jokes and push, hopes on those who can, geese rise in the dusk, no one wears a crown, they take me as I am, don't put friends down, those who make a fuss, are always on the lam, check out who they cross, in our Ocean town, there are no busy trams, only ships make sounds, find someone to trust, you won't need a mask, wear a hint of musk, winters I get brown, laugh before the dust, am never on my own, look at my tan.
