Apparently there are underwater forests, drowned under the river Thames. Ancient forests of dead trees. Creeping willows, weeping willows, yaws, oaks. I have a forest right in my chest. First there were just seeds, but then the seeds spurred into trees in my lungs. A whole forest in my chest. The theater play Londinium by Demian Vitanza is produced and directed by Sandsund & Lie.
