Brisbane Candid Series #1228 Donna Chang Restaurant

 

Velvet seats and lanterned glow,
soft jade light where whispers flow.
Three men seated, calm, apart,
each with a meal, a private art.

Porcelain gleams beneath warm steam,
ginger and wine in a fragrant dream.
No words exchanged, yet all are near,
bound by the comfort of taste and cheer.

Outside, the river hums through glass,
time drifts slow, like clouds that pass.
Chopsticks pause — a fleeting grace,
three stories shared in a silent space.

Melbourne Candid Series #1224 Kisume Restaurant Chef's table

Inside Kisumé’s hush of glass and gleam,
The counter hums—a river’s dream.
The chef, back turned, composes grace,
Steel and sea in quiet embrace.

Behind him, bent in focused line,
The sous-chef hunts the missing knife
A slender blade, a slip of light,
That cuts through ritual, art, and life.

Steam rises soft, the lamps are low,
Time folds beneath the sushi’s glow.
Two figures move, as breath to flame
In wordless craft, they share one name.
