Sprinter Leaning at Finish Line at Dawn

by Dorothy Boyd

Raindrops rest on the taut skin of a sprinter's shoulder as they stretch forward, chest nearly touching the white finish tape. The athlete's face is a mask of exertion, eyes locked ahead, while water beads slide down a forehead glistening in the pale first light. Behind the runner, a narrow village lane in Jabalpur stretches into the mist, flanked by dry, yellowed grass and low stone walls that mark the edge of the path. The sky above holds a soft, diffused glow where the sun breaks through the brief shower, illuminating the droplets suspended in the air. The runner's muscles are defined and sharp, against the wet, dark earth beneath their spiked shoes. One raindrop hangs from the edge of the tape, refracting the morning light.
