Carried: Thigh Problems (I)
“I keep myself small on purpose, and I've dressed it up as being realistic about what I can handle.”
Strength is the question and the answer keeps coming back insufficient — not enough capacity, not enough power, not enough to hold up a life or be held by anyone. So success is kept out of reach on purpose, closeness is avoided, and support is refused before it can be withheld. Under all of it is grief about deprivation and about being used, and the thighs, which carry the body's weight, hold the argument. The household ran a long programme to keep this one close and unable to leave. What the shape asks for is one demonstration of capacity, at any scale, that gets to count.
Jacob at the ford, wrestling all night with something he could not name and walking differently from then on. The form implies a task: to take the mark of the struggle as evidence of having held on, not of having lost.
