Day 77 January 19 2014: I am dust.

I am dust.
Covering everyone and everything I touch, but like a car in an accident I am compacted together by the pressures of my own fault
Lines drawn in sand with sticks on a beach tracing constellations and imitating the patterns of stars
Shooting down the red carpet, flashes blind their eyes as they tell you who they are wearing and it means
