OH LET ME LOVE HIM LIKE A STRANGER

In Hawaii-nei the time is nanea
just before you're awake,
after you've finished dreaming;
Like I am now, nanea, named and married with you
this delicate place of our mutual being

I make prayers from this place
to One, hidden face, who speaks in a voice like a whisper
Help me bless me too forgive --
I repeat Esau and David and Jesus, add mine

Oh let me love him like a stranger
