A black and white drawing of a blanket Appaloosa horse is falling against a blank white space. It is very vertical as if rearing up.
A black and white drawing of a gray horse facing broadside and to the right is falling against a blank white space with mane and tail flying.
A black and white drawing of a dark horse facing to the right and falling in a blank white space.
A black and white drawing of a piebald horse that looks like it is diving head first from a great height against a blank white background.
Yes, Icarus we know
Flew too close to the ultimate flame and fell
Surely akimbo
Tight limbed and loose lipped
Like the evre-tanked mad man
But Pegasus flies yes
Pointed away from stars, sky
Now wingless
Came too close to flame or too many Mad men? 
The perils of proximity...
Yet he still flows with Grace an unparalledled black beauty
Mane of mystical calling 
all limbs to leap in their leaving arched, pricise, pitched headstrong and humbled not fleeting or even falling downward but forward, onward toward. Why can't tomorrow be a graceful, grateful return to earth? Poem response to the Any Minute Now series by Pat Boddy
A black and white drawing of the neck, head and shoulders of a dark horse falling from the top edge of the paper. The rest of the image is a blank white page. The horse's mouth is open and it's eyes are rolling in fright.
A small black and white drawing of a piebald horse falling, its position broadside and facing to the right, its mouth open.
A black and white drawing of a rather dirty paint horse falling facing to the left, its mouth open and its tail curled up around its leg.
A black and white drawing of a horse falling in a diagonal slant towards the right, its tail streaming out behind it and its legs pawing at the air. The background is blank.
Any Minute Now is an ongoing series of memento mori drawings ranging from studies to life size.
