Robert Verdon, #293, Circular Quay


that smell
a strange glittering uprush
suddenly blown to my nostrils
from Circular Quay
rekindles in the heart of a big city
seven sad small southern seaside towns:
a story in waiting (and still waiting),
albeit fishier than Proust’s madeleine.

  1. yes, you need the night photo - really glittering then! It's fun to read you writing about Sydney.

  2. good point — never thought of that! don't get to Sydney very often despite being only 3 hours down the freeway.

  3. But Sydney is all about glitter isn't it? I love that memory rush smell brings on...
