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?"
STAYING OVERNIGHT IN SALADO TEXAS
Awakening to fine fog bright cool gray morning
Out of the mist-a Parade! a Cavalcade! Deer!
Elders first-buck with frame of Christmas antlers
Does with alert nervousness, then tiny deer
in a line like Pilgrims towards Bethlehem
Gentle it was-flowing fine and free, like a silent movie.
They imported an elegant stillness. Entranced, i watched
as they proceeded with innate indigenous authority
across these Salado million dollar properties.
Of course, we knew they were here before us
Before guns and transformation into venison
Yet to see their innate powers/their charismatic presences
Made me ashamed for my trespassing upon
their sacred passing rituals..
