My drone flys anywhere i want it to

Of course

I sent it to the desert.

Thousands of snapshots,

Shocking my unbelieving eyes

greasy pots, dirty dishes, utensils

and a half buried old tire.

It's not true!

I yell .

Where is the jewel I adored?

I ask.

My drone answers with a toneless howl.

No more questions.

Like snow falling on a hill

I silently turn myself into a cactus.
