The dark dining room at service
Flames rising over the grill
Dried chillies spread across dark stone
Hands working over the coals
Smoked fish, skin blistered by fire
A bowl of golden ground spice
Amber light across the bar
Peppers roasting in the embers
A spiced cooler being poured
Spice ground by mortar and pestle
A seat held at the night counter

The heat reads better in the room than on a screen.
