Welcome Mat

forget the welcome mat ; we're
all meat so they say 
so if you've teeth come on in
forgive the soul some say
forgive the god some pray
forget the welcome mat ; we're
all done and no one's in
so if  you've come from afar
you have a longer journey to go
before you see me once again
forgive my friends
forgive my sins
forgive my brain
forgive my skin
going back inside 
going back inside 
going back inside  the cave that
holds my brain ~ to clean 
the welcome mat
