In interviews, David Rosenmann-Taub has often emphasized the
interrelation of music and poetry and that the rhythm of each of his
poems can be precisely scored. The poem below,
Depeapá,
comes from his book
El Mensajero (The Messenger, LOM
Ediciones, 2003). Note that the word
axiomática is
spelled phonetically -
aksiomática to show the separation between the
k
and
s sounds contained within the '
x'.
