Analysis of The bird-woman
Simona Nicoleta Lazăr 1968 (Livezi, Bacău county)
The bird-woman drinks her tea
in solemn solitude
her knees wrapped with lies
protect sleepy geometries
darkened
(the moon is slumbering in a silver egg)
the inner mirrors
of meanings are empty
the words have buried their wrinkles
in the soft russet clay
