Thursday, May 28, 1981 10:45 a.m. Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


WebWords

I'm sitting, motionless
Embodying the auras of nostalgic amalgams
Readying my soul for the blastoff

Listening

A concertina in the schoolyard
Ever-so-innocent childvoices
sending their jubilance heavenward

and into my window

I can't explain (like and old rock song)
the emotions which poured out of my heart
but never got past my tongue

I can't remember why I make love
only to find my heart beating faster

I can't conceptualize

words

dogma
television ramblings
erhard seminars training
Godthinkers with bloody hatchets
reality
peer pressure and the lack of it

It is the last hour of yesterday.

Inspiration-
The inspiration bug crawls into my existence
weaving a web of perception
Clouding this with that

I yearn to copulate with this breeding
insect and I hope she isn't the kind
that kills her mate

Fill me with your poison
And give me a goddamned piece of paper
and a pen

All the bottled up emotions which betray
themselves to my hand have to lash out
at the poisoned inspiration.

Words

All that's left after two years of hoping

What can we hope for now

Here it comes

Sacrifice ourselves in an orgy of passion
Wreak havoc at out inabilities
say the same words over again
read the same stories

and look for recognition of oneself
in another one's eyes.
