Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong
5.0
leaving a comment with my favorite lines from the book every time i reread this bc one day i’ll run out of highlighter options:
1. let every kiss hit the body like a season
2. I will name our son after this water [ocean]. I will learn to love a monster.
3. some nights you are the lighthouse/some nights the sea/what this means is that I don’t know/ desire other than the need/to be shattered & rebuilt
4. My son, even tomorrow you will have today. Don’t you know?
5. but you’ll never forget yourself the way god forgets his hands
6. in the museum of the heart there are two headless people building a burning house
7. You’re so quiet you’re almost tomorrow
8. Maybe the rain is “sweet” because it falls through so much of the world
9. My hands were daylight all through the night
10. The most beautiful part of your body is where it’s headed
