Along DeGrave Street the sunlight falls,
A sharp, unyielding blade on walls;
It cuts the air, it paints the ground,
And drives long shadows all around.
Pedestrians drift through molten glare,
Their faces lit, half-gold, half-bare;
Each step becomes a fleeting sign
Of light’s command, of day’s design.
The city breathes in heat and flame,
Yet still the narrow lane remains—
A passage where the sun declares
Its rule upon the lives it glares.

...a shady place!
ReplyDeleteLovely sharp contrast between sunlight and shade. Looks like many places for drinks and food, and a gathering place for young people.

ReplyDeleteGreat perspective of people coming and going along that lovely alley. Actually, that pedestrian area breathes, as you mentioned in the description.
ReplyDeleteBusy wee bit with some sun :-D
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written! I love the way you’ve captured the light and shadows—it really brings the scene to life.
ReplyDeleteA very busy place!
