"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 and 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)
Being (in the process of becoming)
FIRST MEMORIES?(They
ask
but all that small movie is a
fog of lizard dreams
backyard strawberry
patch,copper for washing ,clothesline strung between poles
(Always partial prints on the
doorknob of past bronze
Statues of moments with little
lines.Slight images Brownie black and white to Kodak color.
We are film in this.Moving
through processing.Often seen in one dimension
yet always open to time
shifts/slipping between days of age and rage
Sage witnesses sum us up
simply.We are non-linear/zapping between
what was and what will be,with
only now as a blanket .Flying carpet.
Steppenwolf.Doppleganger.Slim
thin wavering Light
that calls each to each.We see
as we choose-ends or beginnings
Continuance is only when we
allow the possibilities of tomorrow
to materialize
today!
