Passing through

I've gone through the old maps
looking for trace of lemon
slipping the black light over the edges
counting codes upon my inkstained fingers
crossing these cloudy clues off my list
and there must be a conspiracy
some covert covenant amongst secret saints
who know each other by their hidden halos
and I cannot get the light to bend

Once I dreamed my way
I woke on the doorstep with the words
ringing through my slender veins
Enter Friend and Rest
for you have found Utopia

Now i slide between dreams and dust
searching the antique rolls for some silenced path
some stairway or corridor
searching for the shine of a halo

I'm just here for a moment.
Tomorrow I will find Utopia.
