Carried: Oily Skin
“Everything I want runs into a wall, and the anger about it has nowhere it's allowed to go.”
Aggression is generated at full strength and then held, because the situations that produce it are read as immovable and the response was never permitted. What accumulates is not a temper but a pressure: wanting, blocking, resenting, repeating, with the surface of the body doing the leaking that the mouth is not doing. The position of the victim is not imagined here — it was practised on a child routinely — but it has outlasted the household that trained it. What the shape asks for is force directed at something that can actually be moved.
Marsyas, who dared to compete and was answered by being stripped of his own skin. The form implies a task: to separate the punishment that happened from the punishment expected next time.
