Stroll Through the Street Market
cindy Yoon
Singapore awakens to the call of the Myna birds.
Their song
echoes
welcoming a new day.
Aunties and Uncles roll up their stalls,
Revealing a plethora of goods underneath.
The pungent odor of durian
The sweet scent of bak kwa
And the fiery aroma of chili flakes
Dance around creating a unique scent.
A scent special to Singapore.
The endless summer sun beats down,
upon the sea of people.
Women in Baju Kurungs, Men in Dhotis, Girls in Qipaos.
All from different cultures,
United together with delicious food,
A quiet but loud harmony.
To truly see Singapore’s hidden beauty
You must stroll through the street market yourself
