Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 Thom'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 within 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?
DESERTED HOUSES CALL ME
SO I ENTER(CAUTIOUSLY)
Snakes in bushes and spiders in
webs
remind me other families have moved
in
when original inhabitants moved
out.
Emptiness is never.Scattered
artifacts
remind us of a past we will not
know.
Even to meditate upon
emptiness
will not restore old family
sagas.
Photographs and newspapers
suggest domestic docility.What
family
left like Anasazi?Leaving hollow husk
homes
for the wind and trespassers to sing
through?
