HAPPY BIRTHDAY
what can we do against death, shajil
but assert life’s power?
like aeneas in virgil’s
ancient poem
you take your father
upon your shoulders
to escape the deadly flames
and the devastation all around you
and with deliberate care
carry him forward
back into life
“pious aeneas”
pious shajil as well
his name
and yours
will be remembered
