Melbourne Candid Series #1238 Flagstaff Garden

 

On Flagstaff grass they gather, hushed and near,
With painted smiles that borrow from the year;
Small skulls in chalk, bright flowers pinned in hair,
A gentle masquerade of grief and care.

The children sit where shadows learn to play,
Their laughter stitched to rites once far away;
Thus life and death in borrowed faces meet,
And innocence makes even endings sweet.
