Crystal Ball

The world crystallized.
Trees in snow and roads of salt
Air breathed clean, as before our fault.
Curve a round the lake
across that clean plate
that stretches so far

Risk everything for it all
skate across that reservoir 
At 90 mph in sky and ice
grin wide full of teeth rolling like dice

The road ends with a red light.
Rocky tongues stop the barren white.
An old car can fly if the drivers alive
and the world is 
Crystallized
