This is very haunting. As I read the title, I kept thinking in my head California Love, by Tupac and it was playing along in my head as I read this poem. Then I read your afterword. You have captured the beauty of California and no matter what it cannot disguise the social inabilities and social issues the region experiences. Wonderful work!
