Melbourne Candid Series #1244 Swan St

 


Behind the bar on Swan Street,
he pours silence as carefully as gin,
bottles lining the wall like held breaths.
Fruit waits, knives sleep,
and the night leans in
listening for what will be said next.

  10. The device on the counter intrigues me... A meat slicer, an ice grinder? I like the picture. It looks like a place where I'd enjoy just hanging out for a while.
