Melbourne Candid Series #1098 Latrobe St

 


Beneath the hush of Melbourne’s veil,
LaTrobe Street hums, a shadowed trail.
Neon whispers on pavement wet,
I chase the ping — the order’s set.

Through chilly air and tramlight gleam,
A silent city starts to dream.
My tires hum a steady song,
The night is quiet, deep, and long.

A streetlamp flickers, breath is steam,
This ride’s not easy, nor extreme.
Just hunger waiting, time to meet —
A warm meal flying through the street.

Backpack snug and phone aglow,
I dodge the late-night traffic flow.
A swipe, a tap, the route is near,
The quiet thrum of hunger's cheer.

No grand applause, no curtain call,
Just footsteps echoing off the wall.
But still I ride, in cold and dark,
A silent spark through city’s heart.

For every dish and doorstep light,
A rider carves the pulse of night.

  1. Scooter girl is taking a break from her deliveries to check out her phone. Perhaps she has gotten an important message. She looks ready to move at a moments notice.

  12. I think delivering meals at night must be a tough job, especially if you are female. Who knows who you might meet. Very cool shot, Roentare. I've got my eye on my phone right now, so I can dash upstairs and catch a photo right at the moment the sun is farthest north for 2025. Unfortunately I'll be shooting east. I'm not motivated enough to walk to where I can see the western horizon. Pretty sad! 😂
