    Waiting
    looking at what it is
    my room
    Namgay Wangchuk (Thimphu)

    Around the corner
    a prayer flag
    dancing in the wind
    Namgay Wangchuk (Thimphu)

    Walking towards home
    a silhouette of a house
    Lhendrupling

    A man on his knees
    revere the Buddha as his
    son prostrate to him

    Between being alive
    and dead
    is the breath

    A golden apple
    chilled by the spring air
    ready to be eaten

    Every morning
    opening the curtains
    always beautiful

    Tong tong bing,says a Chinese woman
    yala yala, a Saudi

    Buffet lunch an bunking
    ego,arrogance,deaf ears and doodles

    A cold wintry night
    and a lone leafless tree
    warm lovers beneath

    Child sobbing
    Under the bare tree
    Wind singing
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)

    Crazy winds
    Dry leaves turned wild
    Pole still
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    The bald path
    Dry leaves on either side
    Sea way beyond
    Tshering Dolkar (Thimphu)
    Paper strewn
    Head hidden in shame
    Bird chirping
    Tshering Dolkar  (Thimphu)
    Covered in black
    She gazed at the crow
    Snow sparkling white

    Butterlamp and incense
    I throw in some sang

    When high on emotion
    Fear, anxiety, tension
    Try ‘letting go’ + compassion

    Sad for some people
    Dharma so near
    But karma nowhere

    They were talking about their god
    The son of god, their saviour

    Cold night
    Bus stop…
    Patience

    At dawn I saw mother
    old and frail she appeared
    For so long I was asleep.

    My foot of pride
    Demands a size of ten
    When I am a size seven

    Refreshing
    After a full day of classes
    Dutch canals

    Once again on the street
    Joining many other staggering feet
    Another day has ended
    Sonam Palden (Den Haag, Netherlands)
    One hand in his pocket
    My old professor leaning on the door
    Smoking his ciggarette
