Carried: Thigh Problems (IV)
“Wanting anyone at all feels like something I should be apologising for.”
Erotic life is held under a permanent charge, so that desire itself registers as an offence and closeness triggers withdrawal rather than approach. The shame is real but misplaced: it was transferred from a household where a parent used a child's presence for their own purposes, and the child took on what belonged to the adult. Inhibition follows, and so does an avoidance of anything that resembles the original arrangement. What the shape asks for is the shame returned to the person whose conduct produced it.
Tamar, sent away carrying a disgrace that belonged entirely to someone else in the household. The form implies a task: to name the ownership of the wrong correctly, even this late.
