Lira Póstuma

The work opens as a sweeping lyrical meditation, where history, myth and faith collide in a cascade of vivid images. From the death of a pope and the birth of a comet to the fall of a new Babel under cannon fire, the narrator stitches together epochs with a voice that feels both ancient and urgent.

Through recurring motifs of birds, roses, and the crucifixion, the poem interrogates the cyclical nature of war and the persistent search for meaning. It summons the ghosts of Homer, Dante and Goya, while the speaker’s own yearning for truth soars alongside seagulls over distant seas. The piece balances brutal realism with a soaring, hopeful lyricism.

Listeners will be drawn into a tapestry of sound‑rich language that oscillates between lament and celebration. The book invites contemplation of humanity’s contradictions, offering a resonant, meditative experience that rewards careful listening and an openness to its restless, poetic spirit.
