Downward Smoke Bandoneon Tango Recoleta Cafe

by Jane Byers

Copper-toned light spills across a dark wooden table in a Recoleta cafe, illuminating a bandoneon resting beside a glass of water. Condensation beads along the glass rim, marking the late autumn chill. From the bellows of the instrument, thick, dark smoke does not rise but pours downward like a heavy, viscous liquid, pooling on the table surface and reflecting the warm candlelight. The accordion folds appear intricate and worn, their leather texture catching the glow. Shadows stretch sharply across the wood grain, while the impossible stream of smoke creates a solid, dark ribbon against the amber atmosphere. one drop of water slides slowly down the exterior of the glass, tracing a path through the condensation.
