VI
¿Qué pasa ô redor de min?
¿Qué me pasa qu’eu non sei?
Teño medo d’un-ha cousa
Que vive e que non se vé.
Teño medo â desgracia traidora
Que ven, e que nunca se sabe onde ven.
About This Book
A sequence of lyric poems in Galician that blend evocative depictions of misty coastal and rural landscapes with intimate meditations on grief, longing, and domestic life. The voice alternates tender, maternal and elegiac tones with sharper social awareness, addressing scarcity, departure, and cultural memory. Varied forms—short songs, narrative fragments, and longer reflective pieces—use folk rhythms and vivid natural imagery to explore language, belonging, and the persistence of feeling across absence and change.
