Pushed away: Quail
“The last time I took what was offered, it made me ill for years.”
It holds love and closeness at a fixed distance and arranges a life that requires neither, in a solitude that looks chosen and functions as a precaution. The mothering it came from delivered something harmful inside the nourishment, which taught the body that gift and poison travel together and cannot be told apart in time. What it asks for is to inspect one current offer on its own terms rather than on the terms of the first one.
It echoes Snow White, handed fruit by a woman standing in the mother's place and taught in a single bite what a gift from that quarter can carry. The form implies a task: to learn to tell one apple from another.
