April
John Parish / PJ Harvey
April,
how could
I not have
seen
April,
you
com-
ing
April,
how could
I have worn
in-appropriate
clothing?
April,
all that
careful
stepping,
rounding
of my soul,
and now
your rain.
April, I feel you leaving.
I dont know what silence means
It could mean anything.
April,
wont you
answer
me?
These days
just seem
to crush
me.
Hatching,
collapsing,
tumbling
down.
April!
What if
I drown!
I dont know what silence means.
It could mean anything.
Wont you answer me?
I dreamed,
April,
that Im walking,
that Im watching
your rain.
It overcomes me.
