DescriptionTwo half human, half bird figures dancing in the middle, mirroring one another; to the left of the figures is a text that reads:"2.
You know the way a song slips into similitude,
Restless for rhythm, or words to grasp.
While we, chained to a perch, close our beaks,
wrap our ankles, and reveal a side of language
Which never escapes an artist's brush
Or a painted bird's grief."
