Religious and spiritual poem, read by the aspiring poet (Peter Menkin) and whose text appears on his personal website (http://www.petermenkin.com ). The work is the result of a series of journal entries written at Christmas time. The prose poem, called experimental by the writer, talks of visions of God, and visions of spiritual things, as well as visions of the San Francisco skyline.
