LyricMeaning

Thermal
Arve Henriksen

Morning, you lay sleeping

Your small body clinging tightly to mine

With frightening dependency

Life defining, impossible to betray


And with that…

The mattress rose

Set adrift on the burgeoning emotional tide

Colliding with the once stationary objects

Of an uninhabited life


What had been concealed

Was exhaled from god knows where

Colour-drained, unsalvageable

Shape shifting

And, with function relinquished

Resigned from service


Two blue sleeping bags

Nudged against one another

Bearing the once warm imprint of our bodies


The sun-baked stone garden

Retracted its promise

It was cold in that place of perpetual summer


If you were afraid you didn’t show it

You who were born bearing the face

Of irrepressible grief


So as not to disappoint you

I lay motionless

Rapt by the rise and stall of your breathing

Your fingertips and thighs

Quietly affirming my place at your side.
