Mask Dance Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Mask Dance

Rating: 5.0


dance of the strong warrior
showing advance of old age
in king's old counselor
showing king in all his glory
with enough clowns to fill a circus

with their princes and clowns
relates the tales of Balinese
and Javanese ancestors
returning temporarily
to inhabit the mask
