i was looking for something
Archive 2014 December
but because i "had"
to read it all
i lost it in the maze
be grateful
no more Solstice
yes, i was looking for Solstice
I created an alternate community
Radix Populi and their life
their customs and beliefs
each day in December
i gave a glimpse of them
their preparation & celebration
but what i found and lost
a clever carol parody
to every popular We 3 Kings
it was in response from
someone no longer here
to the Word of the Day
probably the list that vanished
from my computer early this month
pity it was stimulating
2014 ten years ago
a different world
lost to me now
how creative i was
and how engaged the replies
people long gone from LJ
i'm not sure i could
write like that again
one needs an audience
an artist in any art
wants/needs reaction
art does not live
without response
because art has always been
created for the community
with interaction of ideas
somewhere on my shelves a book
"No More Secondhand Art"
about artist and community
i must find it
read it again for 2025
but will it make a difference?
well enough i suppose
in the middle of this long night
