You are humming whole-heartedly beneath me
And the sky is writhing with stars
They are shaking and smiling at us
In our stupor of flow'rs, flow'rs:
Swaying behind my eyelids.

In mid-air, mid-breath
You become gigantic
You are ridiculously tall
Your scalp is in line with the trees
Your hands engulf my entire body
I don't understand but I do.

Now my smiling face is but the size of your thumb
I clamber to reach you, gripping onto hairs
Your shoulder is a mountain
By the time I reach your chin,
I am as small as the nib of a pen.

I curl myself into your ear
And sing you to sleep.
