Dust and Sparkle

When dust sleeps it dreams of becoming sparkle. That's what we were, all smiles in the morning sunlight. By the afternoon, words were left for everyone else; we could hear each other thinking. I left each day knowing who she was, a gift for the lonely road. By night the booze would take and I could hear the crackling of burning photographs.
A woman would stand before me, making accusations underneath the fire of blue eyes. Or so I thought it was a woman.
