Ultima necat

 I translated some poems from this book, Ultima necat, by Cordoba poet Manuel Álvarez Ortega. The title is ultima necat, so I looked it up. It comes from a Latin saying sometimes found inscribed on clocks: All the hours wound, the last one kills.  Omnes vulnerant, ultima necat.  

The entire book seems to describe funereal rites. 

Neco is a verb that means to kill, but used more metaphorically. Cognate to Greek necro.

Granada is a Ford. Seville is a Cadillac (gm.). Cordoba is a Chrysler.  So the big three US automakers divided up the three great Andalusian cities?  Shouldn't that be an antitrust investigation.
