Midnight Tango at Villa Crespo Harbor

Pale flakes drift through the spill of distant street lamps, catching on the dark wool of a man's suit and the shimmering silk of his partner's dress. They stand close at the harbor edge in Villa Crespo, their bodies angled in the classic embrace of a tango. The woman's head rests near his shoulder, her hand gripping his lapel with practiced ease. Behind them, the water reflects the amber glow of the lamps, broken only by the gentle descent of snow. The late spring air seems still, preserving the quiet intensity of their movement. One snowflake rests on the brim of the man's fedora, melting into a tiny dark spot against the black felt.
