I like the vivid imagery and the unexpected connection between the painted dolls and Mama’s red lips.

It’s a phenomenal metaphor. A number of other variations come to mind, for example:
a table for two
growing cold
her cup and mood
❤️❤️❤️

OMG, I just realized that too! (poor eyesight) 😂
Still, it’s an interesting metaphor.
She is definitely grieving something, based on various cues. That said, one detail is important — she still has a glove on one hand, which suggests she hasn’t been sitting there long. She must be pretty stressed about something that happened before she walked in.
