A song sung for Dambulugala

By Renton de Alwis


Sell selling sold
a rock's might
wonders made sit stand
mortar plaster painted
devotion artistry brushed
walls aged restored dimmed
fish images point

drops drip upward 
caved in dark splendor
light soft sway wicks
tourists gaze
monkeys mock
seek bananas for soul
for dead brains green notes
stand tall say a man's greed
hath no end no mend
wonders made in a dark cave
stay stolen sold.
