Of Rondalla Street and Ghosts is a meditation on memory, displacement, and the speculative lives we abandon when we leave a place behind. Through interwoven recollections and imagined futures, the poem explores the emotional residue of a childhood home or a past self. Rondalla Street represents both a real location and an allegorical terrain, haunted by what might have been—an observation of cultural longing. The poem intersects nostalgia and estrangement, where distance distorts and deepens affection, and where memory begins to mythologise both the self and the setting.
