Sun for Plants
I have just a room in a large house
Where I hold most of the pretty things
Hidden away from the
Sickening callous
Soft and calcified eyes
Do you need water?
I have a windowsill behind my dresser where
I hold forests trapped in ceramic pots
In a room I chose just
For its dirty windows
Which make it wonderful
For hiding but
Difficult to maintain
Sun for the plants
