Tom's Poem

Tom Grant, who doubled for the main character of Tommy throughout the shoot, wrote the following poem on Saturday 22nd February 2003 - as a memento of his time with us making "Moth".

Thank you Tom, for a beautiful poem.

• Moth
  Fluttering in the wind
  Fluttering by the street lamp
  One of the most fabulous of the winged

  As they admire themselves
  A different beauty comes along
  A wonderful flutterby
  Now everything goes wrong

  More creatures admire the flutterby
  Moths are less rare
  Moths are being gathered in an army
  In what they call Tommy’s lair

  Tommy is the leader of the moths
  He is going to show the flutterbys how to fly
  And he did but in heaven
  And the beautiful, wonderful flutterbys

  Shall never be admired as much as the moths.
