On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

challenging dark emotional sad tense

3.5

Beautifully written. Ocean Vuong writes words so beautifully I want to make a bed out of it. 

That being said, it didn't do what I thought it would. 

The "I'm looking at the same sun/moon as Cleopatra (or some other historical figure) line" has been interpolated a hundred different times on tumblr and twitter but it's still such a solid line.
