April 20, 1980 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

I feel so bad
I counter the feeling with music

The song is "Lonely Boy"

I sit down to write a poem
A bird sings outside my window
		voice becoming hoarse

		no lover appears

one a.m.
another day
another excuse for writing poetry

I remember the way she looked 
		tonight
	looking not at me
I remember the way she
	moved
	the way she smiled
	away
		all care
I shudder to think I'm still
			in love
Still able to call on the muse
			to try
to win her over...
			because
as I gaze at her with another
the look in her eyes betrays
the fact
she thinks she
never can feel love		and
		I know
		that the love I feel for her
		will help her
				help me
	
				help us

				help love
