After the show
The applause
After the dinner
The bill
After the storm
The dry land
After the book
The close

After the sermon
The prayer
After the game
The score
After the trip
The return
After the wound
The scar

After the after
And after that 
Comes an after
That will be followed
And followed again
And followed still
After and after
Ever after

And ever on
And on and then
And then again
And again and again
To a further after
That becomes a then
That still becomes
Forever after

After the shout
The silence
After the sleep
The stretch
After the secret
The telling
After the pause
The start
