A Poem from my Santa Monica Years

I can share this with you because I still have, and recently rediscovered, the mimeographed literary magazine in which it was published during my high school years:

Fog, all around me,
sheltering me
from my world that was
torn asunder.
When will the sun shine again?

I can't see
through the fog,
Nor do I want to see
my world that was.
I look forward
to sunshine.

Upon what
will the sun shine?
What will I see
when it rises again?
What?

What new road
lies ahead,
shrouded now
by fog
which will
soon be revealed?
