Full of youth and standing fair

His life burned like the live coals’ glow

Swiftly impassioned tenacity

He doctored the sick and wounded, Agir his nomme de guerre

Agir, at one with the fire-filled winds

Fanned across the four corners of Kurdistan

Agir, the breath-blown flame for all souls.

Seven lines by Gurbetelli Ersöz, Voyage au pays du soleil

1988 Photograph from Managua’s Rehabilitation Hospital. Since the hospital is named Aldo Chavarria, it is difficult not to infer that the fallen revolutionary in the photograph was a doctor like Ersöz’s brother.
