cabana de volta et sóc
solcada espona enllà
ratllada d’argiles i calcàries
de complexa simple arquitectura de
pedra seca
sense contraforts
amb fornet o pou

pregon
les pluges que em neixen de dins
desfalquen el bancal on llaures
per qui sap si plantar

duc lliris florits al cap
no els tallis no per ornament
tan sols si de cas per mort
