Roots and journey

The witch said that I came to take care of the spiritual realm, and that I would keep suffering until I accepted it. She also saw that I am here to nurture the roots of my clan. Existence is so contradictory—choosing a soul of wind to tend to the most static part of the tree.

Abel Abilheira is a pseudonym. My name is José, I was born in Galicia, Spain, in 1966, and I currently live in the United Kingdom. For me, poetry is the language that allows us to travel into the interior of the human being.

The last authors I have read in paper books are Ángel González, Gil de Biezma and Karmelo Iribarren. Feb 2026.

Orixe e destino

A meiga dixo que vin para ocuparme da parte espiritual, e que ía estar sufrindo ata que non o aceptase.

Tamén veu que estou aquí para cultivar as raíces do meu clan. Soe ser así de contradictoria a existencia, escollendo unha alma de vento para o coidado da parte máis estática da árbore.
