april

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.
