franco cilli Poems

Can the war be discussed?
Yes, answers old mole who digs for boasted credit.
The war I tell you, is made by water carriers
bony and scheming.
...

When will you ever stop talking about what
that goes beyond the intrigue of the body,
of the painful luninosity of the mind,
of the reasons and wrongs,
...

We don't know how long we have left to live
and meanwhile I have filled up with petrol
and wait for the electric car.
Drawing-room oracles descend imberbi
...
