What is it like?
From the king’s private jet –
The Water slithering
On the sand-coloured surface.
You saw them? Bedouins?
Goat herds, black tents
Made of camel hair.
From the plane. I see.
The climate?
Ok for 24h.
And Petra?
Yes, if you like that sort of thing.
Children bartering for shards of glass
In the shadow of a burnt-out jeep…
Oh yes, 2 minutes.
And where are you going tomorrow?
HARSH
Mother
Land
You nurture
Your child
By kicking
Dust
In her face
