Dust of Success

Gliding past her poignant beauty

Standing in the dust of her success

Embracing the failure 

Melting under the rage of her anger,

Animosity fills her nostrils

It spreads and spreads 

It blinds her eyes

It repels each voice

It spreads and spreads

Until it replaces air in her throat  

And careens her ` into an unknown dark dimension.

This is a picture of dusty car which highlights the theme of the poem: dust of success.
