go
down past glass
ground in your salt shaker
make
a right between
arsenic sweet tea swallows
i
am easy to find.
just take the fork where
mothers
kill their babies
to keep them safe from you
and
look for
windows growing shotguns.
Truth Thomas is an emerging musician and poet from Washington, DC.

In his poetry, he strives to marry crafts of both "page and stage" in an introspective style that is lyrical, spiritual and political.
