Everybody Loves Eric Dolphy: Father glues the hippo HIPPO - Headquarters Information Program Planning Office 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. Nectar nectar: see ambrosia./toured the planet, nesting//in the mouths of bees.//A cello murmurs something/about tennis, or sailing./Only the walls know for sure--//they're so discreet!//Days are short here, nights/shorter. We sleep/like blind sailors in beds//that deliver us secretly home. |
