Carried: Ileitis (Inflammation of the opening to the large intestine) (II)
“It isn't getting better. I've accepted that, and I'm still furious about it.”
Two positions run at once and neither cancels the other: a conclusion that conditions are fixed, and an anger about that conclusion which has never cooled. Resignation without peace is the specific quality — the fight is over and the temperature has not dropped. It was reached in a household so unyielding that no effort produced change, which made the conclusion accurate at the time and left the fury with nowhere to be spent. The valve into the large intestine is where the passage narrows and inflames. What the shape asks for is one condition tested for whether it is actually fixed.
Loki bound beneath the drip, held in place and seething, the venom arriving on schedule. The form implies a task: to find out whether the bindings are still fastened, or only remembered.
