If Tomorrow Gone

Ice forms on dusty roads  
taillights piercing brazen halls  
old oaks bruised still standing strong  
still borne hearts have cradled long  

if tomorrow gone would there be care  
remember at all, I was there  
steady, a rock, in sharpnened breeze  
fluidity crumbled with too much of ease  
 
distant stars, hard time to believe  
lunar thrust stopped so suddenly  
stabbing stilettos lost without pain  
walking out momentos, never again  
 
droplets of liquor a mask for it all  
purged in volition, iridescent light falls
