Subject: Ramsey Muniz Update
Dear Friends:
This is to inform you that political prisoner Ramsey Muniz remains in
solitary confinement. Conditions there are hard. He and other Mexicanos
are hungry and cold, but their spirits remain high, as they maintain a
sense of purpose in the suffering that they must endure.
He writes, "We, the Mexicas of the Rising of the Sixth Sun must demonstrate
that the "Culture of Resistance," which has forever shaped Mexica history,
is still a formidable challenge in the 21st Century."
"Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends."
Corinthians 13:7-8

Enclosed is a beautiful love poem to distribute for Valentine's Day. It is
in English and Spanish. Please distribute widely, and assist us by taking
a copy to a local newspaper for publishing. Thank you.
De Un Amor Verdadero
What more can they tell you?
I am not good nor bad - just a man.
And they will add the danger
Of my life, which you know
And which with your passion you have shared.
Well, this danger
Is danger of love - of complete love
Toward all of life,
Toward all lives.
And if this love brings
Death or prison,
I am sure that your big eyes
As when I kiss them,
Will then close with pride--
With double pride and mine.
But toward my ears they will first come
To undermine the tower
Of the sweet and harsh love that binds us.
And they will say: "That one
That you love
Is no woman for you.
Why do you love her? I think
You could find one more beautiful,
More serious, more profound,
More other, you understand, look at her
How flighty
And what a head she has.
And look at her, how she dresses
An so on and on."
And I in these lines say:
"Thus I love you, love.
Love, thus I love you.
Thus as your hair
Lifts up and as
Your mouth smiles,
Light as water
>From the spring upon the pure stones,
Thus I love you, beloved."
Of bread, I do not ask that it teach me
But that it not fail me
During each day of life.
I know nothing of light, where
It comes from or where it goes.
I only want light to light.
I do not ask explanations
Of the night.
I wait for it and it envelops me.
And thus you are bread
And light and shadow.
You came into my life
With what you brought.
I waited for you,
Made of bread and light and shadow.
And thus I need you,
Thus I love you,
And all those who want to hear tomorrow
What I shall not tell them, let them
Read it here.
And let them retreat today because
It's too early
For these arguments.
Tomorrow we shall give them only
A leaf from the tree of our love - a leaf
That will fall upon the earth
As if our lips had made it,
Like a kiss that falls
>From our invincible height
To show the fire and the tenderness
Of a true love.

De Un Amor Verdadero
=BFQu=E9 m=E1s pueden decirte?
No soy bueno ni malo, sino hombre.
Y agregar=E1n, entonces, el peligro
De mi vida que conoces
Y has compartido con tu pasi=F3n.
Y bien, este peligro
Es de amor - un amor completo
De la vida --
Un amor de todas vidas.
Y si este amor nos trae
La muerte o la prisi=F3n,
Estoy seguro que tus ojos grandes
Como cuando los beso,
Se cierran con orgullo,
Un orgullo doble, amor--
El tuyo y el m=EDo.
Primero vendr=E1n a mis o=EDdos
A socavar la torre
De amor dulce y duro que nos liga.
Y me dir=E1n: "Aquella
Que tu amas
No es mujer para t=ED.
=BFPor qu=E9 la quieres? Creo
Que podr=EDas hallar una mas bella,
Mas seria, mas profunda,
Mas otra - t=FA me entiendes. Mira
Que ligera,
Y que cabeza tiene.
Y mira como se viste,
Y etcetera y etcetera."
Yo, en estas lineas digo:
"As=ED te quiro, amor.
Amor, as=ED te amo.
As=ED como te vistes
Y come se levanta
Tu cabellera y como
Sonr=EDa tu boca,
Ligera come el agua
Del manantial, sobre las piedras puras.
As=ED te quiero, amada."
No pido que el pan me ense=F1e,
Sino que no me falle
Durante la vida.
No s=E9 nada de la luz -- de donde
Viene, ni a donde va.
No pido explicaci=F3nes de la noche.
La espero, y me envuelve.
Y as=ED t=FA eres -- pan y luz
Y sombra.
Veniste a mi vida
Con lo que trajiste.
A t=ED te esperaba, hecha de pan y luz
Y sombra,
Y as=ED te necesito.
As=ED te amo.
Y todos los que quieran escuchar ma=F1ana
Lo que no les dir=E9, que lo lean aqu=ED.
Y que retrocedan hoy,
Porque es demasiado temprano
Para estos argumentos.
Ma=F1ana les dar=E9mos solo
Una hoja del arbol de nuestro amor -
Una hoja que caer=E1 sobre la tierra
Como si la hubieran hecho nuestros labios,
Como un beso que cae
Desde las alturas invencibles
Para mostrar el fuego y la ternura
De un amor verdadero.
