Sam Sax - “Wanting a Dead Man”

“Recently, just before orgasm, I see my first lover. Not how he is now, of course, in a suit, in a coffin, in the ground, skin drying out around his nails and hair, a stone planted above his head that reads his good dead name, but rather as he was then. Impossibly young and illuminated.”

Performing during the Button Poetry/Organic Weapon Arts showcase at AWP 2015. Check out Sam’s book at the Button website, and subscribe to Button on YouTube!

New Poem on Button Poetry… this one’s a bit sad.
