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?
2019 LEAVES OF GRASS
winter garden
even the weeds have bones
we pass
like swung kite clouds
my scraps feed
scavenger birds
heart based remedies
cure head based woes
bed my raft
in your ocean arms
we could not afford height
because of the distance
cuts in my skin
heal with your touch
cut my hair off
when love left
swan songs
last lifetimes
my skin shrinks like tides
like hair lines.like life lines
cancer called
but she was not @home
retired now-all you were
a box of photographs
my silent heart drum
loves your skin song
sounds of devotion
rising through green forests
sterile.hospital
even the bandage needs a wound.
your silence.snapped shut
my speech sword.
habit repeats us.
moon &water conjugate
