Dharamsala Lockdown

Morning moon

the street is empty

there are no donors

few people before the main gate

few people before the main gate

I buy our breakfast bread

I buy our breakfast bread

no one buying vegetables

no one buying vegetables

or taking taxis

or taking taxis

even the tea stall is empty

even the tea stall is empty

a friend awaits an offering

a friend awaits an offering

as do his colleagues

as do his colleagues

a reminder

a reminder

to be kind

to be kind
