Turn Up the Ocean: Poems by Tony Hoagland

reflective medium-paced

4.0

While I’m lying there naked, flat on my back,
I hope I remember all that I went through —
the storms and the lovers and the mountains;


complaining at the top of my lungs;
salting my grief with my mirth
while being tossed this way and that, askew and asunder,
in this blithering whirlwind of wonder.
