Elizabeth Street, Melbourne
maps glow with promises of elsewhere,
feet drift like loose pages
through the afternoon rush.
A woman pauses in dark glasses,
city noise folding into her silence.
Backpacks sway, strangers cross,
no one belongs to anyone for long.
Concrete remembers every step,
every almost-meeting of eyes—
and somewhere between crossings
a moment stands still,
watching us pass.

Good
ReplyDeleteShe spotted you! Good shot :-D
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then it's good to turn around, look back and check that you're on the right path.
ReplyDeletePerhaps she is looking back to see what happened to her friend? No one seems to need the map to see where they want to go. Your picture captures urban dwellers who know where they are going.
ReplyDeleteUna calle muy concurrida en el que muchas historias se entrecruzan
ReplyDeleteShe is proud to pose for the photographer :-) Great photo.
