Your body fades into the backlight   The long day is ending    While somewhere it begins   Our fingers wind to one another   But you see a world between us   Twirling on the head of a pin   And April, we are not just two   You are not just you   And a thread runs through this   In time will I leave what's mine?   Will we learn to push the world away?      'Cause April this is only eggshell   We can break through if we try   There is nothing real that separates   The vision from the eye   And April must we be divided   When effortless you read my mind?   For the singing hears the sparrow   And the blue gives birth to sky   And April comes to clean the winter   Burns the grey and black to green   In your breath I spring the forest wild   To reach beyond the screen   April do you hear my hearing?   Are the islands not connected   By some mythic engineering?   We can bridge the space between      I swear I had a dream through your eyes   And in the morning   I did not know who I was   We clutch to weathervanes and sundials   Praying for the moon to pull us   Closer into one   And April don't you give up now   Crying on account   Of the skin that binds you   I feel summer's coming soon   When the moths and trees and the heart entwine
