A travel blog made of excerpts from one year spent living in South America. From travel-based stories, to home truths from Chile, to coriander and palta (avocado) recipies. Some poetry, some pictures, some trapeze: this blog will give a flavour of life, loves, losses and politics in Chile and South America.

A poetical Rant

Now breath. n' hold. and channel the anger
Crystallise the thought, to denounce the wanker

Declaim them, defame them, write out their wrongs
With the spikes of your language as veritable tongs

Disintricate the problem an arms length away
Garter the cat, and let the mice play

Gutting the meaning, throwing words around
Fleshing and peeling each constituent sound

Break it all down to the essential blocks
Construct it again into a real that mocks

The ideal we see, the idyll we’re presented
With, symbolism inverted, tensions resented

The invention of truth, the angle that’s taken
Tear up the script- “objectivity” forsaken
