Genesis (Creation)

By Guido Monte
Translated from Italian by the author

In principio diviserunt Elohim
coelum et terram
and the land was left barren
et les ombres noires
enveloppaient les profondeurs

bade korgolœdei dar ruie
oghionusoh parmisad
(et aura divina
super oceani undas)

The author thanks Liliana Lo Giudice, Rosa Maria Costa, and Sepidè Akhavanabiri.
