Pushed away: Thyme
“I could start. I've been about to start for years.”
It runs at very low current, with activity postponed, potency switched off and the whole warm register of desire left alone, and the postponement has hardened into a philosophy about how little any of it matters. Underneath is a household demoralising enough to make effort look statistically foolish, and a body that agreed with the assessment. What it asks for is one act of no importance whatsoever, completed, before the argument about meaning is allowed to resume.
It echoes Ilya Muromets, who lay on the stove for thirty-three years without the use of his legs until wanderers came to the door with a drink and he stood up. The form implies a task: to let something small come to the door.
