Hadada

After a very eventful week

the Hubbie

and I

decided

to have a late lunch

at a restaurant

this is not our norm

as

we feel we

can cook better

for cheaper

but

yet

we went for pizza

and a few glasses

of wine

we

got home

before

the storm started

and

in the dog’s

feedbowl

a hadada

was resting.

I took

a towel

gently

lifting it

from the bowl

blood

everywhere

I took it the backyard

noticed

the legs are torn off

the belly ripped open.

I put down a bowl of water

I can’t find

any evidence

of a struggle

with the boerbulls

in the front yard

I went to bed

forgetting

but during

this busy Monday

I remembered

When I got home

the bird died

I’m not sure

if I could’ve saved it

but I am sad

It was not

suppose to happen

#guilt

#whatif

She

I have found

a spot

to observe her

She

is sitting

on the porch

in a flimsy

red

night dress

no care

about

the nakedness

exposed

legs drawn up

head thrown back

I can only

presume

staring at the stars

with a massive

dog

with a black face

at her feet

drawing

from her cigarette

and I wonder

where did she go?

Mom

Dear Mom

I wish

I can send you flowers

ever week

I wish

I can hug you

before

you go to sleep

I wish

I can sit with you

everyday

listening

to what

you have to say

although

chances are

I’ve heard it before

I don’t care

it’s you I adore

I love you

even if I’m far away

and not part

of your everyday

Love

always sunny SA

Road trip

Day 1

I didn’t take pictures, the land was flat and dry. 5 hours of nothing but cattle , sheep and goats. Oh and two ostriches.

At least there was a Steers in Ventersdorp for coffee and a toasted sandwich for breakfast.

I have also learned that Vryburg is the “Texas of South Africa”

In any case, overnight stop, Kuruman.

What a disappointment. Centre town , is a dump. Locals warn not to go to the tourist attractions without security escort.

Finding dinner was also a challenge. Had a few beers at Rostili watching the Eng v Fij game. It didn’t invite to stay and eat dinner. Eventually had a very basic burger dinner at one of the “country lodges”

I wished I rather spend another hour on the road and stayed in Kathu.

Comparing yourself to others, is stealing your joy.

You are your only comparison 💋

Realities

I might be
an old hag
in this reality
but
when
I hear
my lover
calling
through
the abyss
of realities
I become
his Syren Song
a Phoenix
blossoming
in his
embrace

In my dream

My lover

Came to me

In a yellow Ferrari

Wearing

a Dick Dastardly

Driving cap

His smile

And the

Twinkle

In his hazel eye

Made me all

Giddy

Inside

He kissed my thigh

And all I can do

Was sigh

Hadida

The rain

bough

a Hadida

to my garden

I immediately

took a disliking

to her

she sits

on my garden wall

beadyeyed

accusingly

blank

staring at me

I chase

her away

arms flapping

just to

find

het back

on the wall

staring

at me

Amethyst

Last night

I found

my mom’s

owl amethyst

covered in dust

begging me

to wear it

I had a dream

I gave up

my room

my bed

to the bitch

of a sister in law

then

she asked

me

for my man

to sleep

beside her

because

she is scared

I put

my foot down

and

said no

The man

crumbled

a limp

into

oblivion

and I

was left

on my own

and I wonder

what have

I
