Carried: Shakes (Involuntary repetitive jerking movement episodes)
“Nothing is happening and my whole body is answering something from thirty years ago.”
It shows as trembling that arrives without a matching event in the present — a physical answer to a dread old enough that its subject has never been said aloud. The trigger is usually change in the direction of independence: the movement away is exactly what once carried an unspoken threat, so the body treats a step forward as a step toward annihilation. It comes from a possessive household, the mother's grip most often, where growing up and growing away were made to feel forbidden and dangerous; what the shape asks for is proof, in the present tense, that separation is now survivable.
Persephone, drawn back underground each time she has made a life in the light, on an arrangement she did not write. The form implies a task: to test whether the summons still has any force behind it.
