winter solstice
adolescent wiccans

...................


a candle
in every window --
strangers light our path

Glad it tickled you, Ed. How about:

solstice party:

even tho 'adolescent wiccans' tickles my ironic bone . . . 'strangers light our path' i find works on a couple of levels. at first glance a deeply moving christmas-christian theme, on the other hand . . . people light their own windows for their own selfish reasons (decorative social look-at-me thinking) . . . lighting a stranger's path is an unintentional circumstance.
