COMPLETE POEM
LLARG I PRIM
El meu país
és llarg i prim
com un vent fi
de primavera
quan ix el sol
és una flor
que, toda d’or,
a espai desperta
entre la mar
de brea i sal
i el camp callat
de mel i ametlla
Quan ve la nit
se’n va a dormir,
tan llarg i prim,
sobre l’arena
daurada i fina,
sota la nívia
llum que li envia
la lluna plena.
