I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
April is the cruellest month I will show you fear in a handful of dust Shantih shantih shantih These fragments I have shored against my ruins April is the cruellest month. Shantih shantih shantih. The dead tree gives no shelter. These fragments I have shored against my ruins. “ I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.” What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow. I will show you fear in a handful of dust. “ These fragments I have shored against my ruins.” “ April is the cruellest month” “ I will show you fear in a handful of dust.” “ The dead tree gives no shelter.” |
