THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

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?

BUSH HEN DREAMING
ANMATYERRE&ARKITYIRA
Paint with ocher on your bodies
Stories of the bush turkey's search
for the yellow fruit of native plant solanum.
Your tribe is Anmatyerre.The fruit is arkityira.
You need to know where the bush turkey goes/and why.
You hold your ceremony(Bush-Hen Dreaming)by a dried up billabong.
Everything is related.Everyone ,too.
