The Shop Window

Lush leather spotlit, A poor girl’s palmprint on glass, Kept a world away.

I am thinking of the story of the little match girl. Wow! Nice.

I wasn't really thinking of the little match girl (more like the new Tiffany commercial, which reminds me of the opening sequence of Breakfast at Tiffany), but I guess the scene described in the poem is pretty universal. Thank you, Caren!
