Several hours later, Bolin died of a drug overdose. He is buried in the Calvary Cemetery, Sioux City, Iowa.

The dazzled flakes and splinters disappear.
The seal is as relaxed as dirt, perdu.”

And another at my feet;

Which was my music sweet;
And make my grave of gravel and green,
Which is most right and meet.”

Where death crawled angrily at bay.”
