FALL O DRIZZLE
MOISTEN THE DRYLAND
MY HEART IS SAD
MY HEART IS SAD
SING ALONG THE SONG OF LIFE
MY HEART IS SAD
MY HEART IS SAD
WE RECITED HIS "BREAKING THE SILENCE" IN HIGH SCHOOL,
DURING THE POST COUP D'ETAT ERA OF 1332/1953.
WE SAID IT TIME AND AGAIN,IN and out of CLASSROOMS,BY "DECLAMATION" ON HUMBLE STAGES,AT HOME AND IN STREETS.WHEN HIS BROTHER VIGUEN STARTED SINGING IN CAFE SHEMIRAN of khiaban Ferdossi,BEFORE FINDING HIS WAY TO RADIO TEHRAN,WE EVEN GOT CLOSER TO HIM.WE TOUCHED HIS WORDS BY HIS PAIN AND SORROW,IN SEPID O SIAH,OMID IRAN ,AND YEARS LATER IN TAMASHA MAGAZINE.
WE WERE TOUCHED BY HIS SONGS,WRITTEN FOR VIGUEN,THE PERSIAN KING OF JAZZ, TO SING.
WE DRANK OUR TEARS WITH HIS SIMPLE STREET POEMS AS CHASERS.
WE BROKE HIS GLASSES OF WORDS, IN RAGE.
KARO,KARAPET DORDORIAN(HAMEDAN, 1307/1928 -1 MORDAD 1386/JULY 23,2007(also recorded july 18),LOS ANGELES) WAS THE POET OF OUR YOUTH,A ROMANTIC REVOLUTIONARY ,an old cherik,WRITING LOVE POEMS,WITH A MIXED ARMANI AND SOCIAL ACCENT.WE STARTED READING POETRY IN ADOLESCENCE WITH HIS BOOKS,AND ESPECIALLY"SHEKAST e SOKUT/BREAKING THE SILENCE",ALONG WITH WORKS BY HEIDAR REGHABI(Haleh) OR FEREIDUN TAVALLALI ,THE OTHER ROMANTIC REVOLUTIONARIES,AND EVEN MEHDI HAMIDI SHIRAZI,BEFORE SHAMLU HANGING HIM UPSIDE DOWN on gallows!..
NEVER SOBER
NEVER AWKE
WHILE AWAY FROM THE DAY
ALWAYS IN DREADFUL
DREAMS OF THE NIGHT.
CAN SORROW
BE SAVED
IN WORDS
BY BREKING THE SILENCE?
-F.S.
KARO'S BOOKS ARE:
BREKING THE SILENCE
VAGABOND LETTER
SHADOW OF DARKNESS
SYMPHNY OF MAN'S VAGRANCY
MEMOIR OF A GRAVE DIGGER
FLIGHTS OF THOUGHT

is escaping me
when I reveal it
everytime
and when a blank page
is revealed by text
it is a disgrace of the world.
from...REVELATION OF TEXT
Once I wrote about Model's poetry:
That is why he is worried about those"love words"and if they are burned is like he is being killed and there will be no poems where he is lost or just waiting to be found by himself.
See my essays on Model's poetry in: AFTAB(Norway),SIMORGH(Los Angeles,USA),ETEMAD MELLI(Iran),...also my introduction to Model's selected poems to be published soon with English translations.
