Melbourne Candid Series #1231 Flagstaff Garden

 


In Flagstaff’s hush of passing days,
He moves mid-step, half flesh, half sign,
A skull drawn light upon his face,
Death borrowing a mortal line.

A crown of blooms, a lifted phone,
The living world still calls him near;
Between the laugh, the bone, the tone,
He walks where joy and ending peer.

So gardens keep what crowds forget:
That life, well held, is brief, complete
A dance inked once, not finished yet,
Then gone, like footprints in the street.

  8. He looks like he is about to start dancing. Must be a Day of the Dead festival in the park.

  10. Has atrapat un bon moment precís de vida !. On la fantasia d'un maquillatge ens pot fer recordar el fràgil moment de la mateixa vida, en que tot és fugaç ! : )
    Salut !!.
