চিকিৎসা

অনেক রক্তের জোয়ার ভাটার পর আমি

ডাক্তার মুকিতের ডাঙায় উঠে দাঁড়ালাম

অসহায়

বিব্রত

বিধ্বস্ত

তারপর মুঠো মুঠো নিরাময়ের মধ্যে

মুখ গুজে শুয়ে থাকল

বোবা কান্নার মত

তরজমা হীন ব্যাথা

বিস্তারিত বেদনার খরগোশ।

অর্থাৎ চিকিৎসার গোটা অর্থই এখন দাঁড়িয়েছে

এক বোঝা ইনজেকশন, অপারেশনের তোড়জোড়

ক্ষমাহীন পর্যবেক্ষন এবং মাঝে মাঝে

কাটা ছেড়ার মত তৎপরতা

হায়! আমার কোন ডানা নেই

যেন জন্ম হয়েছিল বিছানায় পড়ে পড়ে

কালান্তরের কংকাল গননার জন্য।

মাবুদ! চিকিৎসার সমুদয় দায়িত্ব তুমিই নাও

আমি আর পারছিনা।
