Pushed away: Bamboo Shoots
“I brought what I had once. It wasn't taken, and I haven't brought anything since.”
It holds a grudge against the whole arrangement and expresses it by refusing what the arrangement offers, declining plenty as a way of not conceding that anything out there is owed thanks. Rejection registered before birth and confirmed afterwards produced a bitterness with no available address, so the refusal of good things became the only correspondence still possible. What it asks for is to accept one thing without the acceptance counting as a settlement of the older account.
It echoes Cain, whose offering was not accepted and who was never told why, and who never brought another one. The form implies a task: to bring something a second time, without waiting to hear the reason for the first.
