710 : 3/20/00 : Sleep

Sleep calls the restless crowds
are silent quiet
for once in all
the days of murmuring
Like a hammer like a wave
black velvet draught
the sleep king gave
Sleep comes quiets all
Silence in the pinnacle
Silence in the hall
comes bearing a dark
and silent gift
this message this riddle
this eye this gift
