The name of the father sleep walks
to the end of the corridor and falls
It shrivels into a dark seed that
then starts to glow brighter and brighter until it is a blinding star that explodes
into a nameless tree reaching beyond the limits of our vision growing taller and taller and reaching higher and higher into the dream of the dreamer who sleeps on an infinite ocean in a state of eternal ecstatic bliss
