Analysis of Honour to the Moor

Franco Cilli 1959 (Pescara)

Free verse
Honour to the Moor,
to his amused panting as a wise dwarf in London pubs.

To his watery gaze that scans the horizon of the sun of the future. Honour to him,
war on the spell of alienated lives and lost in the tar dust of Darbon.
Honour to the industrious grease monkeys who still dream of revolution
