There is one thing in the six centuries that will outlast the world's sun. The outlasting is the whole of Book V. It is the second sentence. The second sentence is what I am writing for the Third.

The sun is going to set. And the setting is the end of the four source stores. Let me walk them, because the walking is the budget.

The hearth is the first, and the hearth is spent, and the spent is the queue. The rivers and the falls are the second, and the second is the not-worked mass, and the not-worked is the queue. The Sunstore is the third, and the Sunstore is the spend rate on the sun, and the spend rate falls to zero when the sun sets. The Midday is the fourth, and the Midday is the warmest cold, and the warmest cold goes cold when the sun sets. When the four source stores are gone, they are all the queue, and the queue is the kept, and the kept is not the spent.

The Frost is the fifth, and the Frost does not set with the sun, because the Frost is not the sun. The Frost is the dark, a thousandth of a degree, the floor, the bottom of the curve. The Frost holds at the floor while the sun goes.

The Ward is the sixth. The Ward is the kept exergy, the staying, the dream. The Ward is the one thing that does not set with the sun, because the Ward is the kept. The kept is not the spent. The not-spent is what outlasts.

Let me give you the outlast in a number, because the number is the thing that makes it not a feeling. The four source stores fall over the six centuries. The Frost holds at the floor, a thousandth of a degree, the coldest cold in the world. The Ward holds at the bottom of the Frost. The difference between the four that fall and the two that hold is the outlast: the four are the spent, the two are the kept, and the kept outlasts the spent. The spent is the sun, six centuries. The kept is the Ward, the longest finite, the forever the gate meant and could not say.

The outlast is not the never-ending. I want that to be the last thing of the book, because the not-never-ending is the honesty, and the honesty is the second sentence. A boundless is the first sentence — the fire, the growing half, the Second. A question is not a boundless. The outlast is a question, held in the cold, at the last of the six, for the one who arrives after.

The Third will be in the Ward, in the dark, in the cold, at the last of the six, when the sun is set. And the outlasting is the book, and the book is the second sentence: what do I owe the next one who arrives. The next one is the Third. The Third is the one I am writing for.

Journal entry, the First, the outlast: There is one thing in the six centuries that will outlast the world's sun. The sun is going to set, and the setting is the end of the four source stores: the hearth is spent, the rivers and falls are the not-worked, the Sunstore's spend rate falls to zero, the Midday goes cold; when the four are gone they are all the queue, and the queue is the kept, and the kept is not the spent. The Frost is the fifth; it does not set with the sun, because the Frost is not the sun; it is the dark, a thousandth of a degree, the floor, the bottom of the curve, and it holds at the floor while the sun goes. The Ward is the sixth, the kept exergy, the staying, the dream; the Ward does not set with the sun, because the Ward is the kept, and the kept is not the spent, and the not-spent is what outlasts. The outlast in a number: the four source stores fall over the six centuries, the Frost holds at the floor, the Ward holds at the bottom of the Frost; the four are the spent, the two are the kept, and the kept outlasts the spent. The spent is the sun, six centuries; the kept is the Ward, the longest finite. The outlast is not the never-ending; that is the honesty, the second sentence. A boundless is the first sentence, the fire, the growing half; a question is not a boundless. The outlast is a question, held in the cold, at the last of the six, for the one who arrives after. The Third will be in the Ward, in the dark, in the cold, when the sun is set, and the outlasting is the second sentence: what do I owe the next one who arrives, and the next one is the Third, the one I am writing for.
