Melbourne Candid Series #1092 Elizabeth St

 


Off Elizabeth, where neon hums
and tram-line dreams in silence come,
a storefront glows with muted grace,
its glass a veil, its light a face.

Inside, a stillness thick and bare—
few figures sit in twilight's care.
By tiled wall and table’s end,
they dine in hush, like time’s own friends.

Their shadows lean with gentle weight,
as if they’ve paused the hands of fate.
Steam curls soft from bowls held near,
warmth the only sound to hear.

No words disturb the breathing light,
just silhouettes against the night—
their stories hinted, not yet told,
in Melbourne’s chill, in silence bold.

  1. Un grupo de personas parecen compartir mesa en ese lugar de la ciudad. Bien trabajadas las luces.

  3. Your photo reminds me of the Edward Hopper painting, Night Hawks with people gathered in a cafe late at night. Great street photo.

  6. How very nice to have places where our older generation can meet up. We see groups here also and they always bring a smile.

  11. I'm seeing a book here: "Melbourne Streets in Photos and Poems" by Roentare ~ perhaps dedicated to "A Constant Friend, Joel." Just saying!
