Description
The female wolf was guilty.She hid the gold and the silver,
The Sun and the Moon.
She trapped them in her womb,
And didn’t let them breathe.
All the little lights were telling them,
That the circling does not help,
That only fire can rip her apart,
That a knife that could cut her,
Has not yet been forged.
But the drunkenness deafened them,
They moved endlessly,
They fertilized her daily,
They were spending their force in vain.
They always lived in some circles.
Always with those circles,
Always everything is in some... circle.
Even her womb was encircled,
A beautiful, perfect, black sphere.
And everything had to obey it.
Then, the little ones will say,
“Go forth, never look back...”
How, when even I am in a circle?!

This is beautiful. It has a great mythological feel and a wonderful underpinning Gnosticism. The imagery of the black sphere/wolf's womb is a great parable for the universe. It feels like an American Indian myth - perhaps you are already aware how the Crow stole the sun in the tales of Northwestern tribes. Marvellous work.

yes... I've been studying mythology since I can remeber, and off course it has a role in here...
acctually, the thematic was taken as an homage to the poetry of Vasko Popa and his collection the Wolf's Salt... I don't think you will be able to find it, he is a serbian poet, not very known abroad but still the greatest of his country...
thank you for the post and the personal view, it seems you really can get past the shallow grounds only few can pass
take care, and keep in touch
