you level me
at 6 am you unleaven me
by the kitchen light and the coffee
cup while it thunders outside i let
you level me
i come to this place before the morning
and the world can catch up with us
to do this marvelous stripping
work where we become something
like we really are
and now you are not so far
and i am much nearer to myself
and we can hear
at this level of me
a real place of me
you start to come
