to speak what only I can hear.
It is necessary to reach forward by hiding
in your shadow.
You have settled me in the hollow of the earth
so that the soles of my feet may remember.
You have searched me for what, I do not know
but I have said to you, please, come.
There were knocks on the door I could not recognise.
You appeared as a stranger and I would not let you in.
Come to me in a way I can comprehend
and I will open every door in my house to you.
I want to learn the languages of your speech,
so that I do not need a translator.
I want to embed myself in the rumble of your voice
and my spirit will receive what my mind can't understand.
You are willing to surprise me out of my old skin
so that I may fall upon the ground at your feet
And find my true form, made before light
touched the first horizon.
