R eading Innwa poems
I am hurled into a world
of intellectual power which towers
like palmyra trees upon whose leaves
are inscribed the poems.
Monk-poet Shin Maha Thilawuntha
Wrote poems on the thoughts in the Dhamma
like the deep tone of a palace drum
heard in the far end of the realm.
Shin Maharathathara wrote of the nature
of kingship and of matters secular
in poems like an ensemble for an anyein
or like the warble of a karaweik.
I marvel at their use of language
and a vocabulary both precise and rich.
From which deep intellect did they draw it.
By which attrition are we losing it.
I feel sad for our collective forgetfulness.
