Carried: Birth (Complications) (I)
“Halfway in, I'm no longer sure I agreed to this — these people, this hour, these terms.”
The pattern sits at the threshold: arrival begun and consent to it wavering, with the conditions on the other side registering as larger than what was bargained for. It is not a wish to be gone so much as a hesitation about entry, the moment where a commitment already underway meets the reality of what it entails. Whatever else this is, it is a beginning conducted under doubt, and the doubt gets written into the body's first minutes. What the shape asks for is the entry finished rather than suspended.
Er, returned from the far side with an account of souls choosing their lives and faltering at the moment of choice. The form implies a task: to finish stepping through, having already begun.
