This was written about the girlfriend of an acquaintance. We’d barely met, but his story of her was so spectacular that it was hard not to notice and not to feel anything at all. After this, I began to think - and realize - that her personal struggle is not unlike my own. So for her, I wrote “To A Girl”. Enjoy.

You say you want to make memories,
Holding photographs inside your head – for you,
Sweet and black tinged, pink and mood indigo.
I followed your maps
I followed the legends
I walked your rivers,
connected your words,
and see your face.
Patti passed you your torch.
Now you pass me mine.

Sprint!
I leave the gate, running feverishly
To outrun the fire-breathing dragon
