Melbourne Candid Series #1047 Londsale St

 


Upon Lonsdale Street, in twilight's shade,
A weary man, mid-years and grey,
With bottle dark in hand he strayed,
Its label long since peeled away.

A heavy sack upon his arm,
With secrets cloaked in cloth and thread,
He moved with neither haste nor charm,
Where quiet city footsteps led.

His beard was worn by time’s slow tide,
Now streaked with ash, with silver lined,
And through a strolling pair he tried
To weave his path, as if inclined—

By purpose strange, or whims unknown,
He wandered on, yet not alone.

  1. Ese hombre parece de aquellos que viven su vida de manera un tanto nómada. Pero es verdad que las apariencias a veces engañan.

  3. There are homeless people in every city, most of whom suffer from mental health issues and addictions.
    I've worked in that field, and it's a complicated problem.

  4. This man's face shows years of experience, but we can not tell what his life or future holds from this street photo. It's always a question which your photo poses elegantly.
