Ode to the City
Cnr Crown and Foveaux st (near
Shannon Reserve), Surry Hills.
Words by Tanya Vavilova | Sounds by Tom Hogan
There is something tender and solitary about the black glazed ceramic pot on the kerb, something that tugs at your
heart, makes you, too, feel all alone in this city.
A lonely woman wanders the backstreets of Surry Hills.
