The Burnt Dream of Hekuba
Sooting sooty letter from Emilio Villa
to the poet Nanni Cagnone
after the exitus of his oracle
  Il sogno bruciato di Hekuba
Lettera fuliginante fuliginosa di Emilio Villa
al poeta Nanni Cagnone
dopo l’exitus del suo vaticinio
       
villa  

per purpureum iudicium
literæ multa reliquit
acerrima tunc os meum tescua mentis
ossa verbi mei ne memineris
Hekubæ
somnium sit combustum
et in intumum eat
iliac ubi fata perusta
miscentur, per fuliginis literas nostræ mansumque
inctactam permeas ergo pyramidem acrem
this is Hekuba for you Hecuba, cold vulval
this is Hekate for you trench, from which
twenty lice sprung
the Magnificent
the Umbrosous —    
take one, take a syllable, choose one !
between Cycle of Brains-Cellules
between the Swan-Lilylog Os
between the Black-Lily, Negrog Iglio
of the captured vaticinity
captured by the dark Fire
of voice

illac ubi fata perusta

intactam permeas ergo pyramidem acrem
this is Hekuba for you Hekuba, fredda trincea
this is Hekate for you vulvare, di dove schizzarono
fuori venti cimici
