lines
of powdered promises
insufflate innocence
through nasal nightmares
her aspirations
disappearing
in addiction

Powerful! Fascinating uses of "insufflate" and dual meaning of "aspirations". Excellent!

One of the joys of writing is to incorporate language in new and interesting ways. I enjoy trying to find the perfect word as I know you do too. Thank you for your wonderful comment.
