Carried: Ear Itching (Left)
“Even in my own thoughts, the idea of letting someone close sets off a quiet alarm.”
It shows as an alarm that sounds inwardly, in the private register of one's own reflections, the moment relationship becomes thinkable, so that closeness is kept at the safe distance of something watched rather than entered. On the inner side, intimacy is admired from behind glass. What it asks for is to look at one real person directly, and let the mirror-distance close.
The Lady of Shalott, permitted to see the world only through a mirror and cursed if she turned to face it, weaving life at one remove until longing for it undid her. The form implies a task: to turn from the mirror toward the thing itself, and bear the looking.
