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.
Sempre po-la mort’esperas,
Mais a morte nunca ven;
¡Coitado! ¿pensas que as penas
Poden matar d’un-ha vez?
Nunca que son coma o ético,
Tras de roer e roer,
Só deixan un corpo cando
Xa non tên que comer n’el.
Cando a yaugua d’as penas
Se reverte n’a copa sin medida,
Soyo é remedio a morte
Para curar d’a vida.
