My limbo sleeps on feather quilts,
Death, knocks, upon my door
My need to bleed for years of guilt,
Will whisper, “nevermore”...
🌹🌹🌹
Blinded by the lies of self,
In sorrow’s sullied scenes
Words, doomed to die on dusty shelves,
From the heart of a dancing queen.
🌹🌹🌹
Confusion sought my company,
In this cryptic underground
Delusion brought me to my knees,
In my madness to be bound.
🌹🌹🌹
Make deep the cut, sow well the seed,
Hold your dagger to my quill
When white doves cry and ravens bleed,
Truth gathers for the kill...
🌹🌹🌹
My sorrows float on purple seas,
Pain bleeds on shores of stone
I die this night in ecstasy,
For tomorrow breaks my bones...
🌹🌹🌹

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.
