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.
Apresa Alvaro d’Anido,
Vive moito en pouco tempo,
Espolea o teu cabalo,
E espoleandoo revéntao.
¿Qu’importa un nobre cabalo?
¿Qu’importan dous nin trecentos?
O qu’importa Alvaro Anido
É chegar cedo.
Vay d’un polo á outro polo,
Rexistra os antros terreos,
Monta n’a locomotora,
Sube n’os grobos aereos,
E c’o a centela recorre
D’o vacío o espazo inmenso:
És home, e cansarás, Alvaro,
Correndo e correndo.
