Melbourne Candid Series #1190 Little Flinders Lane

 



Graffiti clings
to silver walls,
an alphabet of passing hands.

Shadows break
shoes cross the street,
each step a fragment of the city’s hum.

Packets of colour
glimmer in glass,
quiet offerings to hungry eyes.

And through it all,
the lane exhales
a rhythm stitched of strangers.

    ...walking without looking at their phones, that's refreshing.

    It's an urban poem with a subtle, melancholic vibe — you can almost feel the city breathing through footsteps and glances.

      The long gap among the people help bring that feel

    Many signs in the street. Not sure anyone ever reads them. The neighborhood would do without the messy graffiti. Obviously these are not artists as they have no talent, and just make a mess.

    La vida cotidiana que transcurre en cualquier lugar. Movimiento de personas por las calles y escaparates que muestra sus productos para la captación de los clientes.

      They do try but often fail to make a difference

    Hello Roentare :)
    A quieter Melbourne street scene and the absence of phones is very noticeable..

    Your verse is thought-provoking, and the image is a perfect partner for the words.
