Iron scroll, steel and wood
Street collage of many parts
Scroll significance

Concrete and steel bolts
Grass has a mind of its own
Life cannot be stopped

Bench and its shadow amidst fallen leaves.

Black bench and shadow
Early morning abstraction
What might it all mean

Stickers and graffiti on steel doors, behind steel screening.

Steel grid over steel
Stickers and rust sit behind
Street composition

No parking paint on the street with large rock.
“Reinforced No Parking Zone” — Image by Author

Stone street, white paint, rock
The rock is for emphasis
Drivers pay no heed

Locked gray doors with peeling stickers and pink graffiti.
“Gray Doors, Pink Graffiti” — Image by Author

Mottled gray doorway
Peeling stickers as accent
Pink graffiti wins

Three paper flowers hanging above red steel door.
“Paper Flowers Over Red Steel” — Image by Author

White paper flowers
Hanging over rusted steel
Red joy on the street
