Pushed away: Radish
“Nothing about me is anybody's business, and I mean nothing.”
It keeps its own life unpublished, sharing little, deflecting involvement and stepping away from anything with heat in it, whether that heat is conflict, aggression or desire. The family it came from attacked quietly, in ways too small to point at and impossible to defend against, which taught it that whatever gets shown will be used later and that no raised temperature is ever safe. What it asks for is one true fact told to one person who has no use for it.
It echoes Bata, who left after an accusation he could not answer and hid his heart in the top of a cedar tree, where nobody could reach it and nothing could be done to it. The form implies a task: to notice what else cannot reach the heart while it is up there.
