when I first died, I stole a lock of your hair while you slept

Now I dip it in ink when the mood strikes

and the times you visit and kneel so pretty on the grass above me,

that’s not scratching you hear. It’s writing.

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
