I've had enough time to... see the monkey holding the thorny fruit
Taken in a Hindu temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. The monkey was still holding the fruit when I left.
The
monkey holds the thorny fruit
It hurts
its hand
But it
won’t let go
It does
not know what to do
Except
it desires it
And it
knows not why but
The
Monkey holds on to it obsessively
And its
blood
Stains the
floor
That was
how I found the monkey
In the
temple
Still holding
the fruit
A century
after
