Act 1

to Myla

So much to be, so much to do,
so much to leave behind.
Still through
the play to come, at each amazing scene,
a thought from the past will quicken, as if new
whatever role you take.
All you have been
to this day makes the rest more rich, more true.

So may a grace-note still revisit you:
the freshness and the vision of eighteen.
