"April Goes Away"

"April goes away."
Pain of departure,
Pain of losing,
Deep within my heart.
My heart doesn't let go.
It's like that.
Weak and dreamy,
For it sees only the form,
Not the content.

My head sees the content.
What was the content?
"Nothing," it says.
There was no April to depart!
Therefore, no loss and no pain.
April was a form I created,
A framework, a window
To look at a content
That was not there:
My life in April!

Form conceals the content,
Or non-content.
