Melbourne Candid Series #1351 Collins St

 

Beneath the signs and city glare,
They shuffle past without a care.
A stroller squeaks, a toddler strays,
While shoppers drift in weekday haze.

“The Beehive” hums above the crowd,
Silent, blinking, strangely proud.
And every face in black and white
Looks halfway home by fading light.

A street parade of thongs and sighs 
Melbourne life in candid disguise.

Melbourne Candid Series 1230 Flagstaff Garden

 

Beneath bare trees of Flagstaff green,
They stand in chalked and petalled white,
Small skulls that smile where life is seen,
Soft laughter stitched to borrowed night.

Flowers crown both young and old,
Bone and blossom intertwined;
In painted death, the living hold
A gentler truth: we leave, we shine.
