Remembering December

It was December
I know because my dress was red and your hair was frosted
with snow and chemicals
My heels were hurting my heels
and the season's musical greetings were loud
and punctured my ears like icicles
But your hand was there and shaking and white with chill
so I held onto it like summer
and we danced a snow globe dance

Strings of lights above us sparkled like diamonds
spilling off Earth's necklace
The stars above the lights above us
glimmered with applause
Because your two step was in time with my heartbeat
Their celestial show was no match for our synchronized sway
Warm in your arms
my heart melted
in the cold of a winter night
