Bulb Replaces Dome

Ss

                           SS

 

   The twilight for the new moon hangs outside

Marking the New Year festival in my village

   In the town hall, the local jubilate

Inside: the forbidden child is stricken with crisis

 

  Men and women intoxicate themselves in the dark;

The celestial bulb in short circuit with the sun

  Up there: space hacks out as fraction of the moons surface

In there… a sickle cell hacks away a child’s tissue

 

  On a deserted place Tep made abode

On a depleted blood he would wrestle

The plague of painful episode

That came alongside a blocked vessel

 

  Live cells once made their orbit within these veins;

Weakened cells left him in severe pains

  Veins remain, but contents sickle…

Sagging out for what appears to be a shortened life

 

   Phases of the moon ago

Before my expulsion from school

My best friend announced before my peers

‘Arben is the sickler!’

  I had a mind that overshadowed my weaker frame…

It is unfair my teacher would yell ‘SS’ to my name

 

  Few years have gone past

Arben has lived his dreams at last:

A man in white overrun

And a stethoscope hooked around his neck

 After all said and done

He survived age twenty-one

 

  A case landed gracefully into his noble hands

Involving a boy tender by age

  He turned out to be the ‘Tep’

Suffering from sickle cell disease… critical stage!

 

  The expert on gene replacement therapy

Performed his art, and administered his remedy

   … In the molecular world became a clear ultimatum:

By the twenty-seventh day

SS would revert to normal again

 

  Minutes to midnight

The full moon dominates the celestial dome

  Tep lies beside Arben in his new home;

The moonlight flooding the silent world outside

  The tissues of the little boy equally flooded with life

That runs in normal blood

On the inside  

 

  Analogy knits the moon with a blood cell

For the Tep who aspires to become the world’s boon

  And once again the celestial clock has kept her tab

New moon…Arben: stigmatized kid in school;

Full moon…now chief of the medical lab

That has drawn a lifeline

For those living with sickle cell disease

In my village...
