Monkey Stealing Offering Under Starlit Night Sky

by Debbie Durham

A rhesus monkey crouches on weathered stone steps in a Girga cloister garden, its fur dark and damp against the humid late autumn air. The creature reaches a hand toward a small brass plate resting on a low ledge, fingers curled around a piece of offering food. Above, the deepest night sky offers a scattering of stars, while faint ground glow from distant village lights illuminates the wet moss clinging to the courtyard walls. Rain has recently passed, leaving droplets on the rough stone surface that catch the dim light. The monkey's focused posture contrasts with the stillness of the ancient pillars surrounding the space. one drop of water slides from the edge of the brass plate, catching a faint reflection of the starry expanse.
