Sam Ross<\/h2>\n

Winner of the Four Way Books Levis Prize in Poetry<\/h5>\n

Ross\u2019s poems are at once earthy and delicate and view their subjects through a perceptive, picaresque lens.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Bowers v. Hardwick” from Company<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned cause and effect.
\nI know because the parade-float
\nis outside my window, brass snorkels
\ncatch the light of the sky like a bell.<\/p>\n

There will be pieces of pink paper
\nin the street, and some will melt
\nafter the day\u2019s rain and some will burn
\non into the night. How could it be otherwise?<\/p>\n

I know we endured all the words\u2014
\nand we must forget them for now,
\nas if they were skywriting, fading white.<\/p>\n

Some urge us, some warn us not to transgress
\nwhat is deeply unspeakable.
\nBut then, who am I going to talk to here?<\/p>\n

Someone turn on the radio, someone
\nsing with me\u2014please.<\/p>\n

Or we can just spend a day
\ndrawing dirty pictures of each other.
\nThere\u2019s time. Wasn\u2019t it you
\nwho promised me the music would last
\nall afternoon?<\/p>\n
