    Titleless Mythology
     

    The wind carries

    My love away

    My tears navigate now the river

    Not the strongest hurricane

    Disturbs the mountain

    Therefore I have anchored myself to the summit

    Not anymore,

    Now I want to dissolve

    In the wind, to melt

    Down into the river, to embrace

    With my body the world

    But so long is the world

    And so short are my arms

    That I pretend to be the proud

    King of my mountain

    All about this I want

    To tell you but my tongue

    Is so heavy, so heavy

    Is my heart

    In my chest, my feet

    Are stuck and my liver

    Is open and bleeding.

    I have consumed my nature

    In the fire of being human

    And now every night my liver is open

    For the eagle to enter

    And devour me again

    Our First Artistic Collaboration - a book of Pablo's poetry and Anya's art (coming out soon)

     

    Titleless Mythology had its beginning when Anya said it was a shame the only way to preserve Pablo's poetry was to gather the napkins, scraps of odd paper, and notebook sheets that he had had in his hands when the inspiration to write came on, before he lost them.

     

    Pablo's poetry deals with themes of mythology, nature, and the conflicts of the human condition. While Pablo read and reread each poem, Anya meditated on the meaning of each without moving, until an image was formed in her mind. Only then would she paint her impressions, in just a few spontaneous brushstrokes.
