wine warming
frozen
red fingertipssteam curling around the
dark blue sky
a
galaxy of stars
hanging
in the boughsof the winter evergreen
icy
white lights
dangling
from theoutstretched branches
shining
baubles
reflecting
the millingcrowd below
everywhere
the tidal
push
and pull of people
Italian
vendors calling
out
to pretty women,offering samples of chocolates
Germans
peddling wares
laughing loud and hearty

Rebekah, the fine-tuned version is marvelous. The words flow like a river with a myriad of sunlight water, that cascades around my eyes; I love the images provided. The give me a pleasant spurt of color, lit with beauty and grace- a moment to step into, and then it retreats from me. I think this is well worthy of any of our famous poets! Absolutely grand.
