lanes are the best thing
about Surry Hills
The Cross and Darlinghurst
contain the heart
of migrant Australia
what all the migrants
have in common
hang iconic
in Australian paintings
bring the old countries
into the new country
dark with dim street lights
paintings
of the deco apartments
of Elizabeth Bay
the novelists who travel there
now the ghosts of trams
Pure art.
ReplyDeletegreat image!
ReplyDeleteLove the connections in the poem. The pattern in the sky of the image is just wonderful.
ReplyDeletethanks, I took the photo but it's heavily photoshopped!
ReplyDeleteI loved what you did with this. And your text made me so nostalgic for the walk through Darlinghurst down to Elizabeth Bay
