A smoky bar
Old style
Soft piano music in the air
The sultry voice of a woman
Scratchy notes
Light jazz
Smoke curls
Patterns forming
Curling
Weaving through the dim light
Grey shapes in the semi-darkness
A glass of beer on the table
A barkeep with his rag
Dusty glasses
Piano music floating through the room
Low murmur of voices
The woman's smoky voice singing
Come away with me
The song of a city at night
Music from a forgotten past
Come away with me
To a different time
Author notes
Inspired by Norah Jones's "Come away with me"
