It took me a long period of searching to find the meaning of "xiape". It is the title of a volume of
e.e. cummings poems. It was maddeningly difficult to find, but here it is:


"XIAPE, the title of Cummings's tenth "bookofpoems," is the Greek
salutation meaning "greetings" or "rejoice." First published in 1950,
this volume, which includes"dying is fine)but Death," "so many
selves(so many fiends and gods," and "no time ago," is newly
offset from Cummings's Complete Poems 1904-1962, edited by
George James Firmage. "
