Because nothing could be taken from me, I thought, if I had already given it away.

responsibility in loving and being loved back (2017)

[memoryslandscape-deactivated202]

                              I want to leave                               no one behind.

To keep & be kept.

                             The way a field turns                              its secrets

into peonies.

                            The way light                             keeps its shadow

by swallowing it.

Ocean Vuong, from “Into the Breach,” Night Sky with Exit Wounds (Copper Canyon Press, 2016)

“Days I feel like a human being, while other days I feel more like a sound. I touch the world not as myself but as an echo of who I was.”

— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (Penguin, 2019)
