THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling writes: 

"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 appearances 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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

RELEASE

Ever every ever ready breath
needs be released/to return
to learn/these steps /we take
towards or away from/sacred secular
combination soup lock/mixture/compound
Door opens and a mouse pops out
claiming your house heart home as his
You love in theory but must kill this love
Release toxicities stored from previous incarnations
Chemical warfare households diminished immune systems
Refugee rats cross your lintel,returning to return
Release them!You still have shark salesmen,scorpion lovers,snake oil preachers
to digest lunch meats/discuss The Theory Of Kindness
