Pushed away: Halibut
“I left, and the distance is the only part of it that's ever worked.”
It maintains a wide and deliberate separation from its family and reproduces the separation everywhere else, living apart in a way that is comfortable, functional and quietly total. The care it received early arrived with something harmful folded into it, so distance became the treatment, and over enough years the treatment became the address. What it asks for is one connection kept at closer range without the exit being planned in advance.
It echoes Coriolanus, who turned his back on the city that raised him and would not be called home by anybody still living in it. The form implies a task: to notice which door is being held shut, and how long ago it was closed.
