Hi. My name is Ruth Baumann and I'll be reading my poem "Between Seasons".
All I can think about is how rare love is.
I don't mean it sadly. I just mean it.
The earth outside is so gorgeous
but too hot to step into. Florida, August.
I am circling my heart like a dog
ready to trap its prey. I keep
hearing these beautiful bird calls
& the sunlight through the window,
beautiful, & the trees through
the sunlight through the window,
beautiful too, but I am here inside.
