Melbourne Candid Series #1232 Flagstaff Garden

 


Beneath Flagstaff’s trees, where old paths bend,
A painted face turns, half-life, half-end.
Bone-white grin and living eyes,
The city pauses; a moment lies.

Steel rails, canvas shade, a borrowed skull
Mirth and mortality share the lull.
Among the leaves and passing sound,
Death is dressed, and life walks round.

  1. I live the skeleton in the background. In fact I have one just like it in my art room.

  2. No parece que le importe estar rodeado de otras personas. Él está seguro de si mismo y a gusto con su cara pintada.
