On April

Damn April to hell, I could be done with that one.

But we bring April with us, you and I;
We set the whole world on the trail of spring.

april regrets me like a parent does a child. i stand for everything it does not. i have maimed it with sadness. april did give birth to me under a fruity tree, but i was born with chainsaw hands.

The soft April night is looking in at my windows and caressingly winking at me with its stars….

April is the cruellest month, breeding
lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
memory and desire, stirring
dull roots with spring rain.

Early April and there’s a light-footed feel.
