+title: 'Dead man'
+project: 'Elegies for Alternate Selves'
+...
+
+A dead man finds his way into our hearts \
+simply by opening the door and walking in. \
+He pours himself a drink, speaks aimlessly \
+about hunting or some bats he saw \
+on the way over, wheeling around each other. \
+Look how they spin, he says, it's like the \
+ripples atoms make as they hurl past each other \
+in the space between their bodies. \
+We mention the eels at the aquarium, how \
+their bodies knot while mating. The dead man \
+was a boyscout once, and tied a lot of knots. \
+His favorite was the one with the rabbit \
+and the hole, and the rabbit going in and out \
+and around the tree. The dead man liked it \
+because he liked to pretend that the rabbit \
+was running from a fox, and the rabbit \
+always ended up safe, back in his hole.
