Stella

You list practised phrases, down a public telephone, massage your ravaged face, the arc of your concern, a lifetimes learning to moan, makes flame that never burns, luminous as the lace, that brightens on your clothes, who knows how a heart breaks, always free to discern, how linen sweetens with Cologne, an idea of where love churns, the gifts of a carapace, lift other's sacred bones, enbraces light from the place, take your time and learn, never go for broke, beyond all what you earn, stars don't shine alone.

Rory

Could you love me better, demand we save this earth, what is sent to test us, don't look aaway I whisper, do you think I’m scared, whatever your insistence, a few drinks and rest, what would you care, remind me of when's best, you’re no one's tipster, drink sourballs and declare, you're a regular listener, dont't expect me fly the nest, even if your eyes flare, when I wail comeuppance, that old environmentalist who said the world burns, but people won't listen, how your earth turns ?

Quiana

Will he clasp you now. make you drink more drink, show you where’s shadow, your eyes beat as fireflies, waltz you to the brink, floods this Sunday tide, a rocking of the boat, somehow breaks the links, about how far you'll go, sails unfurl and rise high, your golden tones shrink, you have always been wise, this friend now sits alone, what is he thinking, his laughter turns hollow, perhaps your new brightside, leads him from the rink, you're no one's easy ride, that's just how it is.

Penelope

She regards a shining sea, each rolled wave a trip, wonders about her feet, will they ever feel love, not knowing what to give, strokes them like kid gloves, bars fuel her sole conceit, every song shakes her hips, welcomes back how she feels, brown wooden tubs, their blond hearts stripped, stand close to the pub, when morning comes to greet, she dresses and skips, her own rhythm and beat, says a prayer to up above, paints her toes and lips, thinks of turtle doves, someone nice to kiss?

Olivia

This lonely strumpet year, sea crashing on rocks , is moving into gear, ride to the city by train, pull on my pink socks, a journey free from pain, won't give into fear, passing by the project blocks, won’t do to shed tears, why should i feel ashamed, while waiting by the dock, water is my holy grail, afternoon sun turns lazy, shadows my path for stock, am like a pirate trading, let me make it clear, assure you I’m the boss, a ship with my own lading, only have to knock.

Naomi

My time goes by unseen, afraid you'll go it alone, close off all my dreams, which face do you use, poker table on the lawn, money you struck and blew, all those crazy schemes, anyone could hear me moan, drowned by graping reams, any time you once knew, raises your sun bleached tone, what good does it do you, morning chat that seems, too close to the bone, becomes way out extreme, this room is a lighted fuse, eyes glitter on my clothes, why discard everything true, why I say go home

Mia

The wind holds its breath, it caresses our ship, us dancers dance instead, in bars below this tub, find drunken men who slip, who can’t feign enough, their gloomy ingrate tests, guys whose creative quips, show them past their best, they crawl like bugs, try to reach our lips, don’t care how we tut, we say what the hell, go take a pill, laughter makes them quell, this cruise sails within us, we all know the drill, when to unfurl or cut, keep a steady grip.
