The heat makes the smells

Strong and dry

The dust, so dull

And the cacti

Smell of grass left in the sun

And smell of aging water

And thorns, and sour butter

The smell of scorching sand

Is acrid in my nose

It smells indifferent and plain

But sears like fire

The slithering snakes

Smell bitter, dry

Crumpled newspaper

Left in the sun

The smell that comes into my mind

When nothing can be won
