malcolm's poetry


			These poems were written within the last 20 years. "The Sacraments Flame" is an apropos title in that it represents the rigors of houselessness. Homelessness would mean a lack of holy spirit. Houselessness taught me of my home. My immense thanks to Chaplain Chris and the Homeless Chaplaincy. They are a group of fine, intelligent workers and this book is dedicated to them. Thanks especially to Suzanne Ellison who, by herself, typed and arranged it! So, thank you to all! Malcolm 2001
