Long Extricated Poems

My lifetime taught
At first I cared
I even fought
I railed against

That final swing

His palm soothes the ridges
Furrowed in her starlight skin
Her masseur, he replenishes

Collaged in deep affinity
Her rock solid attraction
Draws...

His chest was pulled out,
As he marshaled...

The world finally
extricated itself 
from my thoughts
and became a sunlit park
being awakened by children
escaping from car seats 
to run unrestrained

of water from...

In the dark I see you clearly
Images your hardly 
Ever share with the world 

Why be gentle in the dark
When others think you are hardened

That your emotions 
Were extricated at birth
