Pushed away: Rabbit (III)
“Nobody's going to want me like that, so I've stopped putting myself where it could come up.”
It stays out of the range where desire could be expressed or received, holding a settled belief in its own unlovability that makes approaching anybody feel like an imposition on them. A rejecting and shaming household supplied the belief, and the withdrawal keeps it in permanent good repair by ensuring that no contrary evidence ever arrives. What it asks for is one approach made without waiting for proof that it would be welcome.
It echoes the Beast in the winter house, asking the same question every night and expecting the same answer, certain that the shape he is in settles the matter. The form implies a task: to keep asking past the point where the answer is assumed.
