Carried: Rape
“I'm a force in any room without meaning to be, and that force once met a violence I never set out to provoke.”
It is carried by someone of real potency and drive, a mover-shaker whose forceful presence had the effect, with no such intention on their part, of challenging a raging, predatory personality. The pattern holds that collision: a genuine power meeting, unmeaning, a violence primed to answer force with force. No detail of it belongs in a reading. What it asks for is to be met with help where the collision left its mark, and to carry one's own power without bracing for it to be answered that way again.
Penthesilea, a powerhouse and a force in her own right, whose presence met the full violence of the field she entered. The form implies a task: to carry one's power, and to let the harm it met be helped.
