Ivan Bodhidharma heads from the South
on the wings of spring
he drinks from the creek,
from ice-covered streams
he holds in his hand the geography maps
of all our passions and dreams
the white tiger stays quiet
while the blue dragon sings
He will cure those who listen
and maybe those who care enough
and he will show to the willing ones
the history of a blessed past
he passes through buildings where humans are trying to change
the course of their lives
he’s lighter than smoke
through plastic and tin
Ivan Bodhidharma tends to see trees
where we see lamp posts in the streets
and if it’s brighter outside
perhaps, he’s already here
He will cure those who listen
and maybe those who care enough
and he will show to the willing ones
the history of a blessed past

From this seaside town
Ohio seems so far away but
Crystal Spaceships bring there everyday
A wide-headed boy
foreseeing crucifixion wavers
Crystal Spaceships get there in a
Crystal Spaceships beam rays out of
Crystal Spaceships always on my mind

Your voice
swims through streams
of heartstrings
like an otter,
a wounded otter,
smashed on rocks
Fur and pain
leaping out
of instinct
paw trying
to reach
some sacred moment
splashed on rocks

Distant sore throats hiding pools that dripped
From above, through rocks and snow
Shake the empty caves inside us all
Nevermind, we’re of the echoing kind
Cause ah
We’ve seen
That darkened
light
Is still light
So I’m glad to know this painted wall
A solid screen for projected thoughts
Once reflected countless years ago
Its ochre ox, blessing the eyes of a doe
And oh
We’ve seen
That darkened light
Is still light
The sun rose new and much brighter for those who’d
Stared into the eyes of its dark twin in hell
We climbed up the mound and looked at the ground
Those pictures dashed through our limbs and then towards our eyes
Distant sore throats hiding pools that dripped
From above, through rocks and snow
Shake the empty caves inside us all
Nevermind, clouds' veins are running with ice
And oh
We’ve seen
That darkened light
The sun rose new and much brighter for those who’d
stared into the eyes of its dark twin in hell
We climbed up the mound and looked at the ground
Those pictures dashed through our limbs and then towards our eyes
And so yet again we’ve got pillars for legs
Like antlers we’ve sprung, the earth being the head
We climbed up the mound, and looked towards the clouds
Those pictures dashed through our limbs and then through our eyes
Returned to the sky

Liquid splinters say goodbye,
we'll see again beyond the rainy veil,
Liquid splinters say goodbye,
see, kids are flying crystal nightingales
