Poem title: The city Balad
this poem underlines the fate of the woman who has sold her body as a double spiritual and existential tragedy. This woman, by selling and advertising her body, had made a living, but now she is in the stage of degradation (in old age) and that body can no longer provide her with a living. Here Migjeni once again emphasizes the existential theme: "The oppression of the environment forces man to give in to animal instincts to survive." Poverty leads this woman to prostitution and this also brings spiritual misery.
