November 11, 1983 5:10 p.m. Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Significa"

How can I sound it all out...
When each line begins to take a life of it's own
When each image
	springs fully realized from the psyche

How will it mature
Will questions endure
With the subtle surcease of emotions

I lay in the dark
Silently screaming for enrichment
I enrich/I lose the power
I'm a dead battery
Charge me up

How can I relate to the problem
When each line yearns to be a solution
When each image
	I could never imagine anyway

How will it end
Will questions endure
With the hazy erasing of life's immediacy

1983
