Radiance, For Dylan ThomasRadiance
by Michael R. Burch
for Dylan Thomas

EvolutionEvolution Not God
It is the case that there is no God,
He does not exist, he is not the one,
He is not there, he’s not everyone’s invisible puppet,
It is not personal, he is not the Son.

as characterized in Indian scriptures,
notably the Gita—
