NEDA

I held my head in my hands, and I trembled.
The cries from the crowd and the girl in the camera.
I said, in a prayer, a kind of surrender I wished her peace, wondered what she rendered.

Neda, you made a place for the innocents, a prayer for the dissidents.
Afraid I gave up; I never thought the world could be so small.

And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
All the leaders say, "they’ll forget someday,"
but what you’d live to see would take their breath away.

These ragged smoldering lines and these embers,
the cries in the night to say they remember the face of a girl,
who faithful and tender, wanted only peace and not to surrender.

Neda, your mother can’t cry for your memory or mourn for the tragedy.
They tore your grave up.
I never thought the world could be so small.

And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
All the leaders say, "they’ll forget someday,"
but what you’d live to see would take their breath away.

And the flowers on your grave. ??
And the things you gave away were another kind that day.
And the flowers on your grave.

And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
But all the people say, "we won’t forget the day, and what you lived to see takes our breath away."

Neda, you made a place for the innocents, a prayer for the dissidents.
We nearly gave up.
I never thought the world could be so small.

POEM 530

You cannot put a Fire out
A Thing that can ignite
Can go, itself, without a Fan
Upon the slowest Night

You cannot fold a Flood
And put it in a Drawer
Because the Winds would find it out
And tell you Cedar Floor


No se puede apagar un fuego.
Una cosa que arde
puede arder ella sola sin que nadie la avive
en la más quieta noche.

No se puede doblar el agua
y en un cajón ponerla:
la encontraría el viento y la diría
al cedro de los pisos

A Letter for a Father and a Poem for Freedom and Life in Precious Iran / from Neda In Memoriam on a Peace but Love First session -cause-

JP Salamanca:

Don't you dare fall away
What will it take for you to stay with me
They expect you to walk away
The only way to walk is right through their faces

I'll hold you in my arms
I'll hold you as they fall
In Allah's hands
You make your stand
I'll watch you rise

Don't be afraid
Neda don't be afraid

To stand helpless against a gun
Is to stand helpless under the Persian sun
No matter what they take
They can never rob the prayer
That a life was given
That a life was given

Don't be afraid
Neda don't be afraid

Stay with me...
