An Ode to Dorm Houseplants

Death By Fire
Halloweekend.
It’s chilly, baby.
I warmed you up;
The heater burned you cold.
Death by Rain
Hydrated queen.
I water you with White Claw.
Suddenly you’re drowning,
and I miss you.

Death by Love
Her name is Hermione,
bellis perennis.
She gave her life
to be a bouquet.
For a pre-med
Who didn’t want me back.
Death by Silence
Why didn’t you call me?
Ask for water?

Ask for food?
You used to BeReal,
And now you BeDead.
