December 28, 1977 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


The Letter Sent

Can I predict the prediliction of the letter      sent

Or will it be
Will she spit and spurn
Or forgive
Or even love again.

For once, my intellectual muse,
Who showered me with words for every
           occasion once,
I feel as if my questions aren't unfounded.
Is it that I the cynic, found love
In a two year old relationship.

Harry said I should call years ago.
But he's only an asshole who thought
I just wanted sex.
Doesn't he realize that sex without
          love is bullshit.
Doesn't anybody?

No. I know that answer. They 
think I'm like them.

I know I'd like to rekindle a 
	relationship with the only person
	who was ever good to me.
(Good, she was an angel.)
But do I dare even wish for that.
If she forgives me I'll be happy.
Prediction of prediliction fulfilled.
