Magpie Tales 208: Perchance to Sleep?

 

Poet's Sleep, 1989, by Chang Houg Ahn via Magpie Tales

Memories outside the window grow,
Pasts like poppies abloom in the garden
Little death of sleep, Hypnos whispers,
I love the sound of breaking glass



Italicized phrase belongs to Nick Lowe, from his song of the same name. Resistance was futile.
