Beautiful corpses and popped sugar bots

Taste: concord grapes
Sight: red roses, shadows, delicate skin, wide smile, blue eyes, rose lips; purple yarn pulled up around her neck
Sound: when the clock chimes on the quarter hour
Touch: her alert, taut neck; hot, popped corn kernals
Smell: burnt sugar
Extra: a grandson's love; “Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.” ― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
