Paraliż przysenny

Something has sentenced the speaker to old age, but she will not have it: she is still young and quarrelsome, every word firm and sharp. The poems offer a slap in the face, an unpleasant and unpretty truth, suffering that does not mince words. They show no conflict between physiology and lyricism, and celebrate our ape-like smallness and greatness, our orangutan loneliness and an old age that is venomously sensual, full of sex and death.
