The Piano And His Boy<\/h1>\n

by April Votolato<\/p>\n

like sleep comes
\nlike lungs fill with air
\nso too, we let go<\/p>\n

my flowered lips
\nturned down
\nyour perfect laugh
\ncame undone<\/p>\n

and in silence we sat
\nas two, mourning
\nwhat seconds before,
\nwas one.<\/p>\n

\nThere is nothing April loves more then good conversations over hot tea (preferably black).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
