There is no sound for the sweltering sun on sand
beating back
the spirit of the desert
no beat no heart
beats on the desert lizard
dead, red, hot
squeeze the water
blind the sun
the spirit of the desert had no mercy
no beat no heart

It sounds like it needs a spanish guitar going on in the background as I read it :) Nice work!
