Melbourne Candid Series #1237 Albert Lake

 


By Albert Park Lake in Melbourne’s chill,
a young chap stood, poised and still
man bun tight, a Viking’s air,
the morning light caught in his hair.

In his hands, a slender staff—
at either end, twin circles laughed,
spinning, flashing, slicing air,
a dance of metal, bold and rare.

He moved with rhythm, fierce and free,
each turn a whispered melody,
the lake reflected sky and flame,
and he—untamed—without a name.

Joggers slowed, the breeze grew keen,
the water shimmered, silver-green;
the blades kept turning, wild delight
a Norse ghost playing in the light.

  6. Your photo caught the action of his dance with this sharp object. He looks tribal, but I can't tell which tribe.

  7. His face and eyes are coldly watching. The expression doesn't seem to be taking part in his display. This makes it doubly interesting, and even frightening. Remarkable catch!
