I told you You are an indoor forest
you are an entire ecosystem in one room
I wondered out loud how far down the room went
As I glanced over the railing "Hello?
How far do your roots go?
How did they fit a whole forest indoors?"
You told me I am indoor sunshine
"You are indoor sunshine" We go quite well together
"We go quite well together"
quietly
My thoughts swam above my head
Fixating on
How the sun gives and the plants take
How the forest is built to survive in the greenhouse
And how the sunshine merely peaks through the glass
how the forest has a shape and has a home
How the indoor forest is controlled by others
How the sun is growing and growing
How the sun will explode and destroy everything near and far
How it will destroy even the deepest of roots
how there was no indoor sun But just indoor sunshine
How the sunshine spreads itself out
How the heat was a product of what was light years away
How the indoor sunshine didn't last How the sun could always go on without the
forest How the forest could not go on without the
sun but after every sunset there it was
The forest Growing
Digging its roots deeper and deeper
"Hello?
How deep do your roots go?"
how the indoor sunshine Only had meaning
Only had purpose because of the indoor forest
how they gardeners have to pump hot air into the greenhouse
How the sunshine wasn't enough How the sunshine needed the forest
How the sunshine wanted to escape
How the forest needed the sunshine How the sunshine couldn't help but leave
How the forest kept on growing "How deep do your roots go?
How did they get you inside?"
I thought quietly about your hand in mine How your hand was always warmer
And mine colder "We go quite well together"
We go quite well together
