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.

DeleteIt's an urban poem with a subtle, melancholic vibe — you can almost feel the city breathing through footsteps and glances.
ReplyDeleteThe long gap among the people help bring that feel
DeleteThe road markings are very interesting, they complement the image perfectly!
ReplyDeleteAccidental capture
Deletegood
ReplyDeleteMany 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the massive immigration of unskilled refugees
DeleteNice to see people enjoyig the city streets.
ReplyDeleteMelbourne is very walkable
DeleteLa 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.
ReplyDeleteThey do try but often fail to make a difference
DeleteHello Roentare :)
