       Dedication

      For Caleb

      Surely, he walks among us unrecognized:

      Some barber, store clerk, delivery man …

      Charles Simic, ‘Master of Disguises’

      The houses are all gone under the sea.

      The dancers are all gone under the hill.

      T. S. Eliot, ‘East Coker’
