what happens next

Anselm Kiefer

Things fall apart. Indeed, 

Hard things happen quite randomly. 

What was once an ocean becomes a desert, 

Flat and true. 

Earthquakes move the plates of the earth 

To the dismay of buildings and bridges. 

The sky can strike you with lightning, wind, or hail. 

Tread your path with care, friend, 

And watch out for the good things that happen, too. 

The flutter of a hummingbird. 

The friendly nuzzle of a pup. 

James Lee Jobe

Man thrives where angels would die of ecstasy and where pigs would die of disgust. 

Kenneth Rexroth

Delaney & Bonnie & Friends - Never Ending Song Of Love 

In the distance, a long howl, the call of a wolf, 

like in some old black and white western movie. 

Or maybe it was the yapping poodle next door, 

that part doesn't matter, it's the howl itself 

that counts. 

At various times in this long, tangled web 

of existence we need a naked moon 

and a long, mournful howl. 

Go ahead. Just let go. 

Drop your clothes in the street 

and run for it. 

Howl until your throat is raw. 

None of us knows what happens next. 

James Lee Jobe 

If you expect nothing from anybody, you're never disappointed. 

Sylvia Plath
