Pushed away: Iris
“I shut the line, I had good reasons, and I'd do it again.”
It holds the channel closed, to love, to the sacred and to the whole feminine register of experience, having sealed it once for reasons that were sound at the time. Intense rejection by the mother in childhood made an open line into an exposed one, so the closing was defensive rather than cold, whatever it looks like from the outside. What it asks for is one small reopening in the register that was sealed last rather than first.
It echoes Balin, who struck the blow that seemed necessary in the moment he struck it and laid a whole country waste in the same motion. The form implies a task: to count what the defence cost the surrounding country.
