Carried: Teeth (Impacted Wisdom Tooth)
“I keep my life small and my expectations low, sure that if I reached for more, something dreadful would follow.”
It shows as a life kept deliberately narrow, refusing room to grow, bracing against expansion as though enlargement itself were dangerous, and holding to a settled belief that there will never be enough. Under the restriction is an old grief at having grown up with too little support, in a stretch that felt like a wasteland. What it asks for is to risk one small enlargement and find that reaching does not bring the dreaded thing.
The servant who, given something to grow, buried it in the ground out of fear of losing it, and so had only the same small thing to hand back. The form implies a task: to risk putting the buried thing to use rather than keep it safe and unlived.
