Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

4.5

künstlerroman will stay with me for a while, as other ocean vuong poems have. and reading this actually made me go reread someday i'll love ocean vuong which remains one of THE poems ever for me. i hope he does love ocean vuong now or will someday, but i sure do and always have.

"then it came to me, my life. i remembered my life the way an ax handle, mid-swing, remembers the tree.

& i was free."
