lyrics

“To sleep under a fig tree, was in ancient times believed to secure slumber and quiet.”
- Encyclopaedia of Superstitions, Folklore and the Occult Sciences of the World.

the night doesn’t move
but you are restless
and you say your head is much too loud
and the clock still beats beside me
while the light
of our lounge room hums

so I follow
half dressed and sleepy
and I slip between your arms
and I paint the shape of a fig tree
with the shadows on the wall
so you can fall
into slumber

now I am still, silent
curled in your lap
while your breath
it slows.
