...here's a cento that I wrote using Mina Loy lines from this book:
Blue Nun: A Mina Loy Cento
The open window is full of a voice
That taught him of earthquakes and women.
Mumbling Mumbling.
The longing and the lack
Of vocabulary;
A thousand women’s eyes
Splinters on the opal angle of the sun
A radium of the word.
(Bad little boy
Licking is larger than mouths)
All quicks and cores
Of lunar lusts
Birth-breaths and orgasms
And feeding upon itself
The animal woman
Who wore lamp-shade red dresses
In the milk of the Moon -
This is the Devil.
Put curtains at our windows
If the shutters were not shut.

Nicely done.
Makes me want to go and read some Mina Loy, too.
:)
I like it.
