Adana Diner Poutine Boat in Winter Twilight

Indigo twilight falls through a grimy diner window, illuminating a makeshift paper boat overflowing with golden curds and thick brown gravy. The dish rests on a scratched laminate table, its steam rising into the dim interior air where dust motes float in shafts of warm yellow light from overhead lamps. Winter coats hang in the background blur, hinting at the cold outside. The paper edges curl slightly under the weight of the hot cheese and meat, glistening with grease. one drop of gravy rests on the rim of the boat, catching the lamp light before dripping onto the table surface.
