"Burmese waterboarding" Kyi May Kaung's translation of Naing Win Swe's

Moe Makha Plant in http://www.fpif.org/articles/moe_ma_kha_plant This happened in jungle among rebels, I am unsure which. Naing Win Swe died in battle, his comrades having no time to bury him, "just covered him with wild flowers". It was the first poem I introduced and produced/broadcast on my Poems of Those who Love their Country, in 1997. Weekly program went on for 3 years. It has also appeared on another international poetry website (not available now). Kyi May Kaung
