Life and Death of the Poets
Sinope
is the name
the official name
of the Cloud-City
and City of Fires
which
is somewhere
in South America
this watery
and rather of Hellenic civilization
City
floats in the sky
like a baton
and the experts
place it,
sometimes in the middle
of a straight line
incised between Maracaibo
and Valparaiso
of Chile
other times
between Maracaibo
and Elbasan
there
as all the houses are made of fires
citizens live among the fires
they are constantly burned
and get reborn …
