Melbourne Candid Series #1147 Bourke St Mall

 


Two men in singlets, legs outstretched,
In summer’s ease, their silence etched.
A bench off Bourke, a quiet fold,
Where city stories still unfold.

Their voices low, like rivers run,
Not loud with boast, nor seeking sun
But private words in open air,
A fleeting trust, unspoken care.

Their shorts are creased from hours sat still,
The world around them loud, yet chill.
And though the trams may clatter by,
Their space is calm beneath the sky.

A monochrome of time slowed down,
No need for stage, no mask, no crown
Just two old friends in midday light,
Their laughter soft, their bond held tight.

  5. Hello Roentare :)
    The two guys look so relaxed in each others company, which gives the viewer the idea that they are friends of long standing. and how nice it is to see two old friends enjoying a conversation. I really like this photo and your verses are spot on. :)
    All the best
