Airport gate at dawn
Dawn on the tarmac, coffee going cold, nowhere to be until they call it
A departure lounge before the rush: grey vinyl seats, a green backpack holding a place in the row, and a paper cup beside an open notebook with the pen still resting on the page. Beyond the glass, an airliner sits nose-in at the jetbridge while ground crew move under a sky turning orange. One other traveller sleeps two seats over, and the carpet keeps every footstep quiet.
