Blake Ellington Larson

Someday When I’m a Hundred

i’ll remember

how i used to feel so young amongst

the dinosaur crowd

i’ll remember i’m just an old boy

in a new sweater

that my calm demeanor is really stricken

with sweet sin and marmalade

that i’m trying

to light enough candles in my heart

so’s i can freeze up

these doubts

and meet a woman that reminds me

i’m trying not to notice

shadows from eyeglasses

red lips

She Smokes Slender

goes black

'round the edges

in her afterglow i find delight

in the candlelight

that

cuts the fabric out of night

and

the movie moves the images

and

my fingers are negatives

and

She Speaks to Me

through microphied phones

that pause like quilts sew haiku's

she is syllabic in nature

hidden in daylight

II.

her message

is in the bottle

it washes on the shores

that wash over the wires

that sound the hungried spiral strings

that ring

when i sing with her

I've Yet to See Your Eyes

stainless pain

un-endearing

and harmless

i've yet to hold your

postmortem smile

or feel the darkness

shine through your teeth

and it makes me want

to kiss you

breathless
