The Next Beat (NYPC #3)

New Year's Poetry Challenge, Prompt #3
"Write a poem about the future -- yours, mine, or ours. What will it be like? 
(And if you'd like a completely optional parameter, each line can be no longer than 8 syllables long.)"

In the darkness there will either

be flesh or fingernail where nail

used to be

There will be joyful survival

or lost hope where love once

used to live

The only thing for certain

is there will be consequence

on the next page

Some say it is written

Others find the breath chaotic

All we can do is keep pace

with the metronome

expecting, always expecting

the next beat
