Porter Balancing Crates at Dawn in Hawassa
by Seth Salinas
Low tungsten light spills from a nearby window, illuminating a market porter standing at the edge of a riverside landing in Hawassa. He balances a tall, precarious tower of stacked crates on his head, his posture relaxed despite the weight. The wet season hangs heavy in the air, evidenced by the damp sheen on the concrete ground and the gray, overcast sky pressing low above the water. His clothing is simple and practical, suited for the labor. A faint smile touches his lips, suggesting a moment of levity amidst the early morning work. The crates show signs of wear, their edges softened by use, while the water behind him remains still and dark under the heavy clouds. The light catches the texture of the rough wood and the slight sheen of moisture on the porter's forehead.
