Broken
An unconventional poem of sorts about a crumbling relationship
A never ending battle,
Because you’re never listening.
I feel like a ghost,
A forgotten memory.
If I was on tv,
You’d just change the channel.
You never see the tears,
In my eyes they’re glistening.
It’s like I need a signpost,
To get a glimpse of your energy.
It’s like talking to a brick wall.
I’m invisible.
It’s gonna be our downfall,
But maybe I’m just cynical.
Maybe I’m asking too much...
For some conversation,
For some physical touch.
I keep hearing the same song,
Maybe it’s time to change the station.
Is my mind playing tricks on me?
God, I hope it is.
Am I wrong?
My heart feels battered like a crushed carnation.
A relationship reduced to debris.
I am broken.

Dragon Blood
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. Hirea city had been the heart of the region. Our once bustling capital, now forsaken and desolate. Though it had been nearly a decade since dragon-fire scorched the earth of Hirea, every day since had felt like a waking nightmare.

Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.
