Upward Rain Streaks at La Popa Packing Station

Cool dawn light falls through heavy curtains, illuminating a battered metal rail holding a clipboard with shipping labels and tape. Crisp silver streaks of rain ascend from the floor, defying gravity while cardboard boxes and plastic wrap remain still beside the shelving. Warm interior shadows pool beneath the steel units near La Popa. The wet season air hangs visible, catching the light as water climbs upward against the grain of the packing station. Gray sky reflections appear on the metal surface, against the amber glow of early morning. A drop of water rests on the edge of a label, suspended in the upward flow.
