was chestnut, brushed to a hardwood shine, parted sharply and flowing to her thighs; her lips were cupid’s-bow-cute; her head was tilted to one side on a long, long neck. She had skin that had never seen sunlight, and wore no expression at all.

“Moja dziewczynko z porcelany,
kiedyś to mi się stłukła?
Te białe ptaki to są słowa,
którymi czas o okno stuka.

jak w wieczór-w śmierć zaplątany”
