Carried: Ear Drainage (I)
“What I'm hearing is doing damage, and I keep listening because someone has to.”
Input arrives as injury: news, disclosure, the sound of what is happening to people nearby, and none of it can be set down because a private rule assigns responsibility for it. There is no available action, which is the specific torment — the obligation is felt at full weight and no route to discharge it exists. It was established in a household where terrible things were revealed or witnessed and a child could do nothing at all with what they knew. The ear weeps what the situation will not release. What the shape asks for is the distinction between hearing something and being answerable for it.
Hecuba on the wall, receiving each loss as it is announced, with the power to grieve and none to intervene. The form implies a task: to let grief be the whole of the response where nothing else is possible.
