Monk in Luang Prabang

by Allen McCarthy

Morning mist rests on the mossy stone steps of a colonial-era house near the Mekong, where a monk in saffron robes pauses to adjust his alms bowl. The scene is punctuated by the vibrant clutter of a street-side stall: chipped enamel bowls stacked beside a half-peeled papaya, their glossy surfaces reflecting the diffused gray light. A small table fan, idle in the damp air, sits next to a jam jar repurposed as a vase for wilting orchids. Raindrops bead on the corrugated tin roof above, dripping rhythmically onto the wet pavement, while a single cup of strong coffee steams faintly on a wooden crate, anchoring the quiet, lived-in moment before the town fully wakes.
