“Say surrender. Say alabaster. Switchblade.
Honeysuckle. Goldenrod. Say autumn.
Say autumn despite the green
in your eyes. Beauty despite

mounting in your throat.
My thrashing beneath you
like a sparrow stunned
with falling.”
- Ocean Vuong, from “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous,” Poetry (December 2014)
