Jan. 3, 1973 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

A Poem

I saw you in a dream last night
And angels told me how youused to be
You were my painting of life
A virtuous facade telling stories

But someone told me
You were getting married
I said, "oh" and remembered.
Why did you become real ?

I never loved you, no
But I was saving you 
For dessert.

Now years later I'll face up
And old paint cracks
So I have to paint a new canvas

1973
