The Dog at the Gate
in the idle hour
before the fuss of day will drown me
in the shadow of clearing away
the last debris of what once was a life to be
"there might be a method to this madness"
"you can cry all wilderness
and hang on desperately
to your certainty and only fate
the clattering hoofs of a death to be"
"but there might be a method to this madness"
said the dog at the gate
grab your heart and breathe
get ready to meet your fate
before next door comes bashing through the wall
with the purging hammer of rude renewal
"there might be a method to this madness"
dog at the gate
I feel no pain...
