"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!!"

WHISPERED CONSOLATIONS
if you have seen something
no
dreamworlds could utter
if
you have been where
no
one could follow
if
you have been told
secrets
that kill
there
is still tomorrow
and
today's gift is choice-
free
range ,herd,organic,individual
you
range across its broad prairies
past
piles of ghost dancing bison
alongside
fenced fields and railroad certainties
past
washed out bridges for which there is no warning
and
your future always invisible cats/blinking eyes
in
a darkness punctuated via stars
and
this momentary memory's
undecipherable
hieroglyph
