A poem from Sarah Ruhl’s Love Poems in Quarantine
“a pristine pond encircled by trees / last night’s rain scattered by the wind”
“his Buddhist robe / is drier than a yellow leaf”
“When the world / Disappears under your feet / Are you falling or / Flying?”
“At my window / the rain raves, raves about dying”

“the screen / stays backlit and empty / thus I meet myself again / hopeful and useless / a mystery”
