February 1976

Age: 18 years

Are you happy?
How could you ask
that jarring question?
I must have concealed my thoughts
quite well
behind a flashing smile,
beneath Christmas clothes.
My smile disguises
a broken heart.
Outside,
the wind howls.
And you asked
if I was happy?
Love hurts -
answer enough?

Background: College dating...
