March 30, 1983 6:30 p.m. Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Sublime Shortcomings"

 

Another exhuberant ecstasy
Milked for the moment
Training in timeless reverence
Seasoning on the salad days
Writing instant memories
Sometime today

Call me mixed emotions
Saddle up my happiness
Riding the range of experience
Totally tantamount to
Surging perfection

She might sit on the cornerstone
of memory
Waiting for the bus
Call me the busy interloper
Take me for a ride

Insistence supreme
Hark heave my heavy burden
Wait for the oppportune moment
And experience
Another exhuberant ecstasy

1983
