Flashes on the Road, is the second book of the author, who through 144 poems, takes us on an incessant journey for the most varied subjects, written mostly in free verse, also makes use of adonics, sonnets and aikus, to show us places distant ones, that can be of the memory, of the surroundings or of other countries, describing the atmosphere that surrounds them and reflecting on it, as seen in these verses of the poem "Great Buddha of Kamakura":"A fine rain falls on the green and silent leaves,wetting the stones, running down the green bronze,a soft rumor spreads through the corridors,large cauldrons of incense raise smoke to the sky,as carrying a secret message to the heights. "It is also embedded in the ever-present questions of existence and in the reason for being and the inevitable limited time that one has to go through life."We are beings that we move by the time,we are slowly changing soul and body,and of so many times that we repeat that cycle,and little is left of being, is spent.In the final section called "Clara Elena", he gives us a series of eleven poems dedicated to his wife, on a trip to places and trails."I take you by the hand and I give you a path,we walked under the shade of woods and scents,we bathe in the waters of dreams,we go into plantings and loaves of smoke,to give you a gift of your lost fields.
