Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

5.0

God only knows how much I needed this in my life right now. They say literature is sometimes powerful enough to incite wars, I believe Ocean gracefully posses this ability, but he ignites wars inside of you.

"I want to
take care of our planet
because I need a beautiful
graveyard. It’s true I’m not a writer
but a faucet underwater. When the flood comes
I’ll raise my hand so they know
who to shoot. The sky flashes. The sea
yearns. I myself am hell."
