Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

4.0

I’m not really into poetry most of the time, but Ocean Vuong is such a sorcerer with words, I couldn’t wait to read this one. Since I’m not a poetry person, most of it was likely wasted on me. But the parts I understood were beautiful. I read Dear Sara many times, it’s my favorite.
“…it doesn’t
Have to make sense
To be real—“
And
“Where none of us
Are children long enough
To love it”
