Divestive Division and the
SubConscious Feelings
of a Subtle Wave
in Catabolic Capitulation.

Yielding Recessively
to the Dark.

Actively Impelling toward the
Forceful Power and
Condensed Intensity of the
Hot Arid Fire of an

of the Cardinal Insides
at a Transitory Instance
of Flux.

The Excessive Antipathy of
Negative Revulsion

Beside a Stagnant Pond
in the Freezing of a Winter End Night
with Cold Air and a Cold Wind
through Snow Covered Pine Trees
a Black Male Cat
Runs through Frozen Snow
Smelling with Nose the Forceful Fire
of Death's Deteriorate Efforts
