I Plant So Now

I plant so now over your head the seed of life and song. The taste of honey, milk, and sweet wine I plant so now. The wind and the sun in their turning the seed of man and woman I plant now over your head. I plant these things now so as they grow we shall grow with them. I plant so now the thing that makes man and woman one, as we are one. It is my need, my need to plant just as the moon needs the stars or the beach needs the sea. It is I that need you as you need me. I plant so now over your head so they may hang there past life, past death, past forever. I plant so now.
