V. 3
Sibel thumbs islands on a keypad
beneath the tablecloth,
lifting her head at uncle's order,
bottled messages in hand.
Nearby spoons scratch soup bowls,
and her eyes fall on ladders of steam,
climbing into the bulbs
of a chandelier
until frail rungs crumble
into air, chasing after
her words set to sail
off an edge of earth.
other than that it reads a lot better. the last line ties into the title and acts as a much clearer hook
good edit.
