Lupus brings out the poet in her

After years of reassurance Aya still thinks one day Lupus shall strike her..and will find her doom.Lupus Erythromatosis (lupus=latin for wolf, erythema=rash) is a systemic connective tissue disease known to attack females in their childbearing period, though it may be precipitated by certain drugs, more common in dark women, and if that doesnt exclude Aya who is white(no offence lol) then the incidence that it is more common in females who have suffered spontaneous abortion might do the trick.no, shes not married..yet...;)ok, not that its impossible for her to get lupus or anything.."impossible is nothing" quotin adidas ad.But shes more likely to be going through a mild phase of the "Medical Student Syndrome"*a constellation of symptoms medical students start manifesting with throughout their years of study in medicine, briefly explained as identifying too much with the information they study and end up thinking they suffer from the same disease they are reading regardless of the long lost logic in the process..funniest one was a girl thinking she had prostate cancer loool..correction u need a brain check:P
Back to Aya, (not a medical student either hehe)who over a coffee convo was casually showin me a lump in her neck, desperate attempt to prove the Lupus theory, was rebuked by none other than myself and i dismissed it as a post fever lymph node..never to see it comin a couple of weeks later..
So she calls me up..a long distance call from the states..yep i was in shock hehehe..and slams me with the "i was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma" what the..!
The funny part is that my info about Hodgkins at that moment was a tad more than that of Hodgkins himself before he discovered that disease and named it after him lol..so ( miserable music hits in the background) i take days of misery crushed by the news before i actually realize i might as well study for a change only to discover its a thank God curable disease..did i seem illiterate or what hehehe..
Nevertheless, Hodgkins is in no competition with the nasty Lupus.Aya takes poetry classes now and guess what her first poem is about..it goes a lil something like this..

Lupus Grandis et Malus

Lupus of the wood
Mysterious ally of the Sun
Let the little girl alone
Don't step her way and
Make her days a lifetime
But if by chance, by mere ugly chance
You glanced her under the brightness of your star
Leave the paleness to the desert
And the redness on her hood
For oh! When your butterflies spread their wings
And draw your traps on her face
And ay! For the pain that stings as your claws
Clasp her gaze

Lupus on her head.
Lupus on the kidneys of her skin.

You can kill her grandma, if you like,
And you can kill her too
But do so in one moment, one glance, one bite
Don't churn her with her blood
And chew her over years
And make her eyes too shallow
For her to drown in tears

The surprising part is that it is very accurately and informatively written, only one aware of all extents of the disease would portray the Lupus so vividly.U could go down in medical history for this ya Aya..bad news is, Girl UVE GOT ISSUES loooool!! i luved the poem though..helped me out in studies must admit hehehe...
Miss u mucho
