every ounce of my being
with the electric sense
of being alive!
i drank the cup of forgiveness,

against the building, almost dissolvingin the shadows.the probing lights of cars passing sawnothing, no sign of life.slowly, without sound, he removed thescreen…. pushing the window up justenough, he pulled himself up and throughthe window like a snake.it was some kind of office at the back ofthe church. he waited a minute for hiseyes to adjust….
