One winter, he held a rope, lowered me

by the ankles to the wells bottom.

I ascended upside-down through the dark thermometer

with a blood orange in my teeth. He had a beard

of new snow. I held cold to his pant leg

while our dog left and snapped at a sound

in the air only he could hear. When I fell

in love, he reached out to me and held me down

when she slinked away on our dirt road alone,

sheepish, depress. He held me as the constellations

mingled through the torn curtain.
