Words Circles, SignsWords circles signs
branded by time you carry
in your breast and on your lips
marks on the goat’s ears,
forgotten, rooted
reborn with art
and very hard, tiring work
very ancient (sediments, dregs, dust, language
aborted?) perhaps
found again, born anew
remote, dead
not dead, inside
a great garbage heap
─ must of memory.
(Translated by Joseph Perricone)
