Aubade traditions:

1. **Dawn arrives:** Light enters the scene
2. **Lovers must part:** Separation approaches
3. **Time pressure:** Night is ending
4. **Reluctance:** Resistance to the day
5. **The world intrudes:** Reality vs. intimacy
6. **Transformation:** What night was vs. what day brings

Contemporary adaptations:
- Non-romantic aubades
- Solitary dawns
- Ironic or subverted aubades
- Dawn as beginning rather than ending

Draft an aubade that engages the tradition while finding fresh ground.

Let dawn be character and antagonist.
