The Tissues were obviously saturated with milk. The feeling of polished stone established itself against her ears, and her cheek was rewound with metal tape. Living in the caves of her throat were pictures, not words. Her hand dound clay to squeeze into bowls. An object as white and soft as pork. An object as silent as pillows. She was as still as wet paper. The moon obviously resided in her face. And walked noiselessly to the sky each night.” Minimal discolorations on the dustjacket.
