Nora

Ask me why I pray, given kids like these, makes you go insane, run a bath with foam, not wanting to believe, all my loving's done, see your lousy face, slinking off to sea, hope the engines fail, in the wind and stones, what is left of me, assist my journey home, harness in the rain, all their surly needs, have their own someday, each of my lonely bones, suddenly breaks free, am out of that zone, remember sweet ways, when they were tiny, lord how we praised, a time to believe.

Maisie

You scream of bad news, in turbulent nights, don't you know we're thru, the world's mmazed stones, left hanging out to dry, all loving fire now gone, flame bursts up the flue, don't tell me how to cry, to use more coal thsn you, it’s not me you mocked, swimming against the tide, every touch gets lost, no matter what you do, however hard you try, no one reamains immune, who cares who is phoned, something deep inside, goes beyond this soil, fly at frightened blues, clouds furl the sky, death is no easy due, even when you die.

Lily

Don't say take a train all the love you twist, instruct me pack a case, his world can hesitate, like it has a stitch, it dont make me afraid, a bum asks for change, wants but rwo bucks kid, whisper jump in the lake, go spin on your plate, the cheek of his gist, wrapped in a door frame, living around this place, is a launderette spin, everyone gets up late, a little smile migrates, am thru with creatives, who never see a wage, such little time of grace, when you go figure it, puts a smile on my face, nothing's missing.

If I’m no breeze, a girl strung on wire, please set me free, spark your eyes lover, you'll see me right, say you know the score, rock me gently, nod everything‘s fine, don't you worry baby, am cut from lost cord, a ball all entwined, I wait by the door, glamorous perfect serene, all who know me as kind, don't visit other dreams, a perfect night, have I just expired, within a toil of water, stars shine on the sea, I love the dawning light, let me reach the quay, my soul afire.

Josie

It's quiet here now, after years of grief, my face smooth as stone, can still see the place, where they made believe, who had to be saved , my body's milk is fallow, given back to the sea, a candle on tidal flow, please accept my grace, resist such profanity, through these lost days, geese rise in droves, across stubble fields, time on their shoulder, honk on their way, its late for the season, I remain the same, in a clear blue dawn, stripped like a tree, my hands cup a rose, an old loving need.

I keep trouble at bay, what life isn't a loan, dump desire look away, put jelly in my bones, your eyes see the foam, tell them we're gone, stumble in sunlit haze, unplug all the phones, fools are easy to sway, scared of the crones, in case of wired home, catch me on the flow, let's ride a blue wave, like cold knives honed, love is our only gain, why don't you follow, dance the Theban gloam, break out a new ground, is this what you crave, to lower my clothes, you must be brave, to join this show.

Hailey

I still hear me Da, laughing like a foghorn, long time seems so far, happy he's not scarred, by what went before, when he raised the bar, he's like a newborn, a fallen bright star, I turn the car key off, like he's left the ark doesn't know what's gone, he can’t find a chart, his face looks war-torn, worries about my Ma, he’s not even sure, so tell me the part', where we get starved, on trips to the park, the new shirt scorned, things fall apart, life has no form,. Love is the art.
