On my way to the Northern of Namibia,
between Kalkveld and Otjiwarongo,
I saw a woman next to the road,
a tall, battered figure, with blood-stained cloths,

Windhoek, 2000

Nabucodonosor! thou shouldst be living at this epoch:
Namibia hath desire of thee: she is a quagmire

The rain, thunder and lightening gods laugh
Playing football on the plains of heaven
Their little faces glowed white
In the light.

Teensy snow creek diamond-glittered
And...

Scrubbed white like clothes on a river stone
I search for words to write your name
Lathered of vowels
Bleached of syntax
Sanitized by the drenching light of the sun
All I have left is a glossary of feelings

Stock-still in gold dawn light while many sleep,
perched, scanning, on abandoned termite heap.
Expectant, skin tingles as in cold breeze
contrasting with the stillness of the trees.
The tracking beeper focuses our minds
as aerial picks target from behind.
Cheetah...

Patriotism

And fill my bedroom window
It reflects the reality I face everyday
But amazingly...
