Melbourne Candid Series #1175 De Graves St

 


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.

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

  2. Great perspective of people coming and going along that lovely alley. Actually, that pedestrian area breathes, as you mentioned in the description.

  3. Beautifully written! I love the way you’ve captured the light and shadows—it really brings the scene to life.
