Carried: I.T.P. (Interstitial Thrombocytopenic Purpura) (II)

I'm not going anywhere, and I've stopped pretending I want to.

It reads as refusal wearing the clothes of fatigue: nothing new made, no appetite for what is ahead, a settled expectation that the rest will resemble the worst of what came before. The bitterness underneath is old and had reasons — it formed among people who dealt in contempt and used each other — and it has set into a position rather than passing like a mood. The clinical label is a shape, not a diagnosis; what the shape asks for is one thing wanted for its own sake.

The Archetypal Form

Niobe, hardened into rock by grief and still weeping through the stone. The form implies a task: to get the grief moving again before the shape becomes permanent.
