The Flowers You Grew in Hell Stopped Dying

~

When we met, you were a storm, and it so rarely rains in Hell. Every time your foot touched ground, flowers grew. They browned quickly, for even with the rain, there is no soil here, no sun.

I had sent floods to the fields above, the sea sowing salt. People drowned. They’d starve come winter. You would barely look at me as you proclaimed your hate, your sorrow. How could I doom them so harshly?

I don’t know them, I said.

Death, you said, you are the only one who knows them all.
