why I write


I write to expose the colors that bleed from words of truth to try to hold to something real and give measurement to proof If not for the words written on the page of fibrous stuff and ink my soul begins to fade away I feel my presence shrink I write to make my notions real to expose the images I hold of reality's existence through color: stripes of teal, strokes of gold
