Hereafter

Wallace Dean LaBenne

The aftermath of a brief path
is the hereafter.

The afterlife of untold strife
is the hereafter.

The afterall of a great fall
is the hereafter.

The aftereffect of neglect
is the hereafter.

The thereafter of everafter
is the hereafter.

The afterward of the absurd
is the hereafter.

The afterdeath of restored breath
is the hereafter.
