Red and Green

This post is for a girl who's as green as she is red, though truth be told I don't really know the colour of her hair. She is Rainbow-Bright and Pippi-Longstocking with just a dash of the Lost Boys of Never-Never Land (because I can never see her growing up, not really, and she'd be perfectly at home on an island with pirates and merfolk). She, like so many of our friends, is an artist and an activist; her goal is to live a truthful life and she is brave enough to change more than her address to discover that. She is generous of spirit and of smiles. Her energy is as infectious as it is affectionate. She's a little bit cuckoo and she makes you feel it's okay to be so too, and so we do. Turns out we make great music together. I hope we get to do so soon, 'cause I miss her company like I miss Cafe Fantastico, miss the Prior Street posse like the dry sand misses the tide, like all children miss their mothers when they're gone.
