"Thom the World poet, is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

CAGE FOR TWO
Battlefield of a double bed
Body
talk but war of head
Desire
pulse but angry red
blood
spilled every night instead
of
being love,becoming Tolstoy
Bombing
Dresden of our heart
Hiroshima
Mon Amour!
Zero
in on Nagasaki needs
Civil
union or civilian losses/
Everywhere
a war zone/home split
Bombed
each evening/lances hilt
buried
in the body of our bed
Sex
calls-but angry bees nest instead
Cost
astronomical/comical/all we do
is argue/you become
another me
when
no "we"is possible.White flag skin
Burning
Buddhist Prayer Wheeling Dealing
in
bodies,finding minds on another plane.
