Dead

Our love’s
Not the only thing
That’s been dying
Around here

The bananas
In the fruit bowl
Have black spots
And flies

The arms
Of the cactus
In the window
Are discolored

The leftover chili
Has been sitting
In the back of the fridge
For weeks

And now
The construction men
Have knocked out
The power
