Melbourne Candid Series #1259 Flagstaff Garden

 


A young woman in dark sunglasses
leans toward a waiting skewer,
the sun catching on the metal,
on her smile half-hidden.

Behind her, the Mexican mural
spills its colour across the food truck
chilies, saints, and swirling blossoms
a feast painted before the feast.

She lifts the skewer,
a small moment in a busy day,
yet framed by all that colour
it becomes its own bright story.

  4. The food must be very good, but the Mexican in the mural that decorates the scene is quite unsettling!

  8. Mexico has a long tradition of murals so I am not too surprised to see a Mexican themed mural, and it is even better than a young woman enjoying Mexican food.
