Carried: Shin Splints (Left)
“Every time I stride toward what I want, something in me trips the leg out from under it.”
It shows up as self-sabotage at the point of pursuit, a felt sense of betraying oneself the moment one moves toward one's own intentions and aspirations, so the forward stride keeps getting cut from within. The undermining is not laziness; it is an old prohibition on getting where one is going. What it asks for is to complete one move toward a real aim without tripping it.
Atalanta, who could outrun anyone alive and yet bent, each time, to pick up the golden apples set in her path, losing the race she was winning. The form implies a task: to run past the apples to the finish.
