Go Through the Gatewhen you've thrown away your old things
and in new clothes, shoes and hat go down to the bazaar
there'll be congratulations, there'll be doffing of hats
and smiles all round!
but what if you've changed the clothing of your mind
and declared your previous thinking outmoded?
there’ll be curses from your friends
your brothers will sink you a gibbet in the ground
your father scrape a hasty hole to be your grave
and thirty generations of the living and the dead
yell diatribes against you!
yet though with arsenic and lime, vinegar and acid
from all sides you're sprayed
and the flaming lash of hell is on your neck
despite all of this, without wavering
go through the gate
go through the gate
go through the gate
till time itself is in your arms,
and the future,and all things luminous
