Not Mal Ignant

my need
to sleep is
superseded

by the seeds
you've sown
inside me

taking root
in my brain
stem sprout

ing leaves
and grow
ing freely

but i want
to keep you
inside me

not want
ing you 
to leave

so insert
ing ear 
buds

vine grown
from an
i pod

playing
salsa to
keep you

dancing
in my
head
