Planting Seeds In My Sleep

Two pebbles, or pearls, or pills, Are placed in my palm; pretty are The whitewashed stones of sleep. Welcome medication in place of music, Needing louder, needing noise, needing you. Too much sleep has been lost to the sound of your silence. Descend to dreams, Where I find you in my fallow thoughts And plant, anticipating growth, seeds for a hardy love.
