Description
Good-Bye is a poem that
recreates the joy of a character
from the coast who, after
being away from his home, is
preparing himself to return.
The poet compares all those
things he loves about his land
(specially the sea, a clear leit
motiv in the poem) with those
he finds in the Andean city in
which he is currently living. This
text, full of music and cadence,
is accompanied by nostalgic
and somehow surreal images
that, parallel to the poem,
suggest another story, another
reading.
