Martinez
Aitona
The work in progress "AITONA" deals with grief, and what fills the mind when we face the void left by a loved one.
This is a poem related to the piece:
- Beberme en tus manos la vida-
Que tu muerte no sea en valde
que llene de tu conocimiento mi alma
que tu ausencia tenga un sentido
lo pido
lo exprimo
que me beba tu experiencia en mis manos
que tu vida nutra la mía
que tenga una sentido la vida
que tenga un sentido el unido
que tenga un flujo de amor
que tenga un sentido la muerte
que tenga quizá un por qué
- To drink life into my hands from yours-
May your death not be in vain
may it fill my soul with your knowledge
may your absence have a meaning
I ask
I demand
may I drink your experience into my hands
may your life nourish mine
may life have a meaning
may union have a meaning
may there be a flow of love
may death have a meaning
may there perhaps be a reason why
