A Poem by Noah Thomas

If you met a better god,

You might keep doing something

You were doing before

With a little wind

Drop your “aught” to light the world

And reflect the shine of older eyes

Maybe that’s where all the saints are,

Maybe that’s where heaven is

Drop the thought to change the world

And be forgotten on purpose.
