Why I Write


Quite simply: expression.
Confessions
of transgressions,
of obsessions.
Release of agression.
Escape from depression.
Most aptly: a digression from life.
I write,
I write
in closed session
professions /and
answers to my own questions.

None for others lessons.
None to impart impressions.
Strictly for my own eyes;
site of my soul.
