Melbourne Candid Series #1227 Flagstaff Garden

 


In Flagstaff Garden’s tempered light
He turns, a shield against the air;
Feathers arc like frozen flame,
And silence gathers at his stance.

The city blurs to watching eyes,
Its hours loosen, briefly stilled.
Old rhythms press through modern ground,
And grass remembers older feet.

    He is so proud of handling his shield. Great portrait. Also like the words of your description.
