"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!!"

BLOOD ON THE MOON
WHERE AN ASTRONAUT FELL
You
can see it from here
when
rust red bushfires burn
our
image of what we think we see
into
red scar patterns of what is
Like
Pyramids on Mars
animals
on planets/shades and shapes
play
tricks with us as we see
what
we think we saw before-guilt,embarrassment
when
the ones we ridicule/laugh at our mirrors
Projection
of shadows and wounds and scars
cripple
our future walking /Moon and Mars must wait
for
us to heal our little Earth(home of our birth)
before
we fly into the dream of "All Is Forgiven"
