Poem by Celeste Reyna written for the Community Archive of the Ebro, an initiative of Lo Pati (Amposta), in the framework of Marco Noris’s exhibition Cos d’Ebre.

Ebro of battles
Of resistance
Of memory
Of poetry
Of sonorities
Of a flock of birds
Of constructions and destructions
Of submerged villages
Of repair and reworking
Republican Ebro
Ebro that keeps paraules per la memoria in its Poble Vell de Corbera
Ebro upstream in the symbolic gesture Sequere
Ebro downstream with its whole body in Cosdebre
Ebro border that becomes shore
Ebro mirror of the skies
Ebro that mixesourtongues
Ebro migrant territory
Ebro of singular sonorities,
Ebro of scores
Ebro of voices that in the pandemic were confined and that we were freeing without stigmas through language
Ebro creative community
Tosquellian Ebro
Ebro that becomes Sutura on a canvas by Marco Noris
Ebro that wrapped us in your lands and your waters
Ebro that sheltered us in our foreignness
Ebro that now, by your side,
is home.
