Everybody Loves Eric Dolphy: Father glues the hippo back/together, as he's done before/when the others broke.//It's no small task.//Opened envelopes hang like cranes on a line. Herons,/in real life, are bigger but hard,//to make of paper.//When Elvis died, nothing/happened to the weather.

We sleep/like blind sailors in beds//that deliver us secretly home.
