The chicken with cucumber is ready
the weather is there
she put her teeth on
grab the bucket
for water
leans over
teeth splash into the well
and here are the guests on their way

And [people] don't want to understand the first layer of the poem - its literalness. They immediately want to perceive something other than what is there.

Yes
in my hermitage it tempts:
loneliness
world memory
and that I consider myself a poet.

First I went down to the street on stairs,
oh, imagine, the stairs.

They're looking at me,
so I probably have a face.
Of all the familiar faces,
I remember my own the least.

I am a Denderowianka.
I don't know what that means.
