Carried: Abdominal Pregnancy
“I took hold where I wasn't expected, in a place and a time that couldn't quite hold me.”
It shows as the body's record of a beginning met with deep ambivalence, a coming-into-being that arrived where circumstances were not ready and not at peace. The story it carries is of taking root in the wrong place, against resistance. This can be a grave matter medically, and where it is live its care belongs with those trained to help. What it asks for is to let a beginning be met, this time, by ground prepared to hold it.
Jephthah, born of a union his family would not own, driven out by half-brothers as not belonging, yet who returned and stood. The form implies a task: to claim a place even where one's arrival was contested.
