Ocean Vuong Quotes

Brooklyn's Too Cold Tonight
& All My Friends Are Three Years Away.
My Mother Said I Could Be Anything
I Wanted - But I Chose To Live.
On The Stoop Of An Old Brownstone,
A Cigarette Flares, Then Fades.
I Walk Towards It: A Razor
Sharpened With Silence.
A Jawline Etched In Smoke.
The Mouth Where I'll Be Made
New Again. Stranger, Palpable
Echo, Here Is My Hand, Filled
With Blood Thin As A Widow's
Tears. I Am Ready. I Am Ready
To Be Every Animal
You Leave Behind.
