Before you came for me, I would carry the light, run to the sea, hope that you'd care, what you thought was right, your sailing ship turn, commerce in its need, silk cushions swathe my thighs, famed brightly for its speed, sails billow to the wind, rigging shining bright, a journey to rescind, the evening sparkling green, a power beyond my sight, will we dance at Thebes, what is their to learn, days I melt and scream, you were never there, the fury of my dreams.

The sea’s a dancing mirror, it turns on the tide, the breeze makes me over, like sitting on a throne, s boat lights my fire, I act the annointed one, can you mix less bitter, this shining star of mine, provide a sourball tremor, aboard your sloop Carmona, drifting in the lemon light, deepens my bronze aurora, let me flow like a river, fill a cup of maritime pride, love me while I consider, if I'm a cossetted show, you'll always be inclined, to buy me summer clothes, see me as your bride ?

Willow

Here’s a wish for you, who would think comes first, in everything some truth, wish I wasn’t around, what it is to thirst, when you're on the ground, the sea alone rolls blue, has no time for mirth, knows when something’s due, was it by the Sound, you spin tales well versed, found me there alone, say you'll ring on cue, sometimes for the worst, start again like new, the river shines like stone, stars and night converse, your reach for me is gone, are you scared ?

Ginny

1983 was a big year to be, more than 40 years ago Wowee, met my partner Billy G, howling down the 'phone, raging in midstream, said all singers die alone, a photographer of big scenes, unashamed sclerotic dreams, still recount all his yarns, rocking episodes one by one, dancing places by the sea, sepia lighting right in tune, tales of could have beens, who grants us such memories, forged shotss out of nothing, wherever he still carries on, boardwalks with ice creams, I laugh at that time gone, good enough for me.

Una

We dream of justice, jumbled thrown away, receive life consistent, when we think of home, whoever's in that frame, do we remember love, rage does not absolve us, further troubles pain, washing down our luck, calendars tell the known, what's missing from the page, ask us what's gone wrong, collect all our interests, shake them up each day, can we better this, undo what’s been done, great stories have to wait, our endless lives mellow, he will rise again.

Tilly

When I look to see, three missed trains, your face a relic dream, what do you want to hear, that love always remains, smooth as shifting gear, are these lines tweaked, as the time gives way, nights of drunken sleep, beyond the railway yards, trees wave in gentle rain, faces trace lonely cards, electrics shush to wheels, still hear that sound today, listen to my sad appeal, what makes you scared, wrapped in your own way, does no one thinks i care, now you've gone away ?

Sophia

You say everything’s right, while your daughter prays, who turns off the lights, you smile between moans, laugh as on a sunny day, never lose the bones, around your eyes, there’s a tired terrain, it's the love we prized, chasing luck like a drone, the call of Bingo forays, in rain or early snow, as if time's stopping by, whoever thinks your way, smoking Marlboro Lites, we never get the tone, as our family rages, water drips on the floor, none of us the same.
