“The theme of death at sea of ​​those who lived and lived from fishing, the loneliness of widowed women. In popular poems and regional stories there are accents of great beauty. The dream of reuniting and seeing each other again is almost a prophecy of eternal love. What is happening now, at sea, small boats with big people, is a collection of feelings and tragedies of the past and recent, in search of a life that a man can live with his family.” And again: «The narrator identifies himself with the sailor who disappears and continues in a dream to tell the story of finding himself with his bride, again, in a new time, without pain or death again.

“Where do you come from, a beautiful gold ring and whose hand did it belong to / from which fish did the thief leave / but there is no ambassador on this shore / no one / who tells his story the beautiful fish has a mission. It has already failed / his message is nothing more and no memory / birds fly and roses fly, the wind also flies”: are timeless verses, which seem to be taken from old books of short stories.
