The Translation of Color--my first post in a while ;)

haven't been writing much lately, but...
The Translation of Color
Misting again, brilliance blossoming out
no longer bound to contain
all events encompassed by the question
ferreting answers by implication
connotations read from gestures to reveal
the death of solace sadly absent
wrenched into smiles pleasantly forced
disagree incapable of argument
stunned tightly embracing discomfort
clinging to definitions surrounding unsteady
spinning braced for collapse
coherent but spitting static
wedging forward pressed tightly
engulfed then spit out sullen
discarding recollections of abuse
present now, returned fully aware
detecting singularity swinging and surging
pulsating again and under pressure
pushing deeper than perfection
sensing and relating to each facet
displayed and discretely examined
knowing which notes will be important
having sat through this set before
shown too clearly the path and its progress
to understand the genesis of the instance
calculated to find problems insoluble
then dedicating thought to panic
immersed when supposed to be glimpsing
experiencing fear from both sides
demonstrated to equal everything
remaining still, disregarded by rotation.

Thanks, e-girl That means a lot to me...seriously.
I actually wrote this piece on a computer--something I haven't done since I started using journals (around Christmas 1997). And I wrote again last night...but I'm not sure whether to post the results
