Melbourne Candid Series #1183 De Graves St

 


Off De Graves Street,
beneath the laneway’s hush,
a father leans into a table’s comfort,
cap tilted,
tattoo ink coiled upon his leg
like a memory written in skin.

Two boys beside him,
bright in their footy shirts,
shoulders knocking in the smallness of youth,
eyes wide with the ordinary feast.

Plates clatter,
the city breathes around them,
but here
in this narrow corner of Melbourne
a family meal becomes
its own quiet monument.

  1. Simpatica escena. La perspectiva hace incrementar la diferencia de volumen entre el padre y los niños.

  2. Being raised in a certain era with certain customs, I would find it difficult to sit at a restaurant table wearing my cap. Possibly I could in a fast food McDonalds sort of venue.

  3. ... and another tattoo is also on his left arm. at least he is enjoying a lunch with his two kids in a lovely corner of Melbourne. That's great.
