Sunday Sentence: Night Sky With Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong

Simply put, the best sentence(s) I’ve read this past week, presented out of context and without commentary.

          Maybe we pray on our knees because god
          only listens when we’re this close
          to the devil.

“Untitled (Blue, Green, & Brown): oil on canvas: Mark Rothko: 1952”
