1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

---

After the Curtain Call

Actors adorned with makeup,
Settings designed like reality.
Theater glistens for just so long,
The falsity fades from reality.
Beauty, soul filled for an instant.
Art in the highest of forms.
Theater glistens for just so long,
Then we forget it's once hewed charms.
