The dead woman

The Dead Woman

If suddenly you do not exist,
if suddenly you are not living,
I shall go on living.
I do not dare,
I do not dare to write it,
if you die.
I shall go on living.
Because where a man has no voice,
there, my voice
Where blacks are beaten,
I can not be dead.
When my brothers go to jail
I shall go with them.
When victory, not my victory,
but the great victoryarrives,
even though I am mute I must speak:
I shall see it come even though I am blind.
No,
forgive me,
if you are not living,
ifd you,
beloved,
my love,
if youhave died. - Pablo Neruda
