"never, never can escape"

"silver sugar tongs"

"her salt tears pepper our soup"

"she glosses over him and me"

"But what squirms beneath I can tell"

"I am all edges, a surface, a shell"

"Queen bee"

"cushions so stiff you can't sink in"

"She won't
give up"

"Tables polished clear enough to se distortions in"
