While one may cozen, watch its twin accuse I had to look up cozen, but that wasn't really an issue -- I got the point even without.
and then deny the words so any trace
is nothing more than memory, a space
where questions grow, and so do epithets. Yeah, memories of stank (however false) usually lead to much worse shit than actual stank -- see basically any election season anywhere ever. I think the memory centers are directly tied to a person's emotion and decision making centers? but I'm no psychologist.
 
Her world is sand and sugar; any threats I suppose a mixture of sand and sugar can be hard to unmix --- well, unless you have copious amounts of warm water, since sand is insoluble.

but only from the torso, while her feet
dig deeper in with stylish pirouettes. And now I'm imagining Pearl (a character from another animated series I like) dancing around and junk. Again, lovely (and she was quite passive-aggressive in her 'youth', so I suppose it works).
 
A spiral with no anchor is a line
that draws itself apart, in swift decline. Ooh, dense couplet! Let's see....she pirouettes, she pirouettes, she sinks, she sinks, she breaks? Or perhaps it's a centrifugation thing....but literally, someone so passive-aggressive should ultimately end up identity-less, I think.
