What metaphors are used in Death Sentences by Radmila Lazic?

In poetry, a "conceit" refers to an elaborate and extended metaphor. A metaphor is a word or phrase that is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or comparison between them, and a conceit can carry one metaphor across many stanzas and through many different situations. Conceits are not as common as they were in seventeenthcentury England, for example, but Lazic uses one when she employs Shakespeare's character of Ophelia as a metaphor for the speaker of Death Sentences.
