Through streets of gold where merchants call,
She wandered light ‘neath evening’s thrall.
With weary gaze and laden hands,
She left behind the bustling stands.
And as my shutter caught the scene,
Her eyes shut soft, lost in between.
Through heavy glasses, she turned away,
A fleeting ghost of spent-out day.

The tram rolls forth through evening’s haze,
Its weary load in tight embrace.
With sighs and shuffles, hands hold tight,
As city hums in fading light.
Through clinking rails and crowded air,
The rush of feet is everywhere.
A daily tide, both fast and slow,
Through Melbourne’s heart, they come and go.

Upon his brow, the shadows lay,
As if the night had stolen day.
His weary eyes, so dim, so worn,
Like stars that fade before the morn.
One glance might guess, with softened sight,
He’s wrestled long against the night.
Yet here he stands, though frail and deep,
A soul adrift on tides of sleep.

She carried a great many garments, though the air was not so cold as to warrant such burden.
Stepping forth from the Royal Arcade, she moved with measured pace, her footsteps falling upon a floor patterned like a checkerboard, its polished surface gleaming beneath the soft glow of morning light.

Amidst the dim glow of the tavern’s bulbs, a man sat in quiet repose. A well-worn leather jacket draped his shoulders, its creases telling stories of time and wear.
Before him, a glass of amber liquid caught the light.
He neither spoke nor acknowledged the murmured conversations around him—lost in the silent communion between drink and thought. And the phone.

His shirt resembled a splash of art—vivid, expressive, and striking. Yet, I recalled observing him as he directed his gaze toward a lady passing by along the footpath.
It's intriguing how attire can mirror one's inner world. A garment adorned with bold strokes and vibrant hues speaks volumes about the wearer's persona—perhaps a reflection of a creative spirit or a desire to stand out amidst the mundane.
