Ocean Vuong


---

Like an ocean, Vaughn holds the photograph— voice on the other side .
One side: Picture this.
The other: me, you, inside out.
White noise

Bird's-eye view?
Even rivers run dry.
Cry.

Untucked, meat, your way—yes please, king.
Angel sent, then spent.
Another chance: awake to die.

Mama gave birth to a sun—amidst a cold moon
Blood in the harvest
We sow what we wreck

Up close?
The tree
Still grows
In a hateful spite
Against you and me.

  1. This one definitely needs some backstory. That is unless only you are supposed to be able to interpret it- then it is doing exactly what it was intended to do. You’ve been missed.
