LONELY IN THE FOG: Anahita Ayasoufi’s response to Hermann Hesse’s Im Nebel

Lonely in the Fog
(A response to Hermann Hesse’s Im Nebel *)
How strange it is, walking in the fog,
in an autumn dawn,
seeing but a tree, or a single stone,
feeling you’re alone,
alone forever,
never to emerge from the empty white,
never to be seen, or talked to, or touched,
except by the breeze,
and the golden light
reaching in the fog
—a house far away—
in the rising sun,
and the ringing bell,
of a Sheppard dog,
as the lifting fog turns to morning dew,
footsteps on the grass, of a passerby,
and one little smile,
perhaps even two.
