river hongbao

food stalls in an indian file
a variety of aromatic smells and colours
shuffling from one end to the other
money exchanged for tasties
stuffing ourselves
with shark's fin soup, japanese pizza, buns with crabmeat sauce
satisfied
with the laughter and a filled tummy

fireworks blast into the dark night sky
a hug maintained throughout the festivities
families, friends, couples congregated amidst the crowds
smiles, cheers, feel the joy in the air
a sight to behold
a moment to remember
