Kindred Identical and
Proximal Assimilated things.

The Advent Pause of a
Decremental Process amid
Flexible Random Chaos.

The Palpable Form of
Tangible Diversity in a
Waning state of Depreciation.

The Declining Presence
and Deteriorate Influence
of the Element of Earth
and the Negative Influence
of the Sensorial
In the Gradual Darkening of
Autumn's Declining Cool
Mid October, 7:30 pm.

The Analytical Steps of
Divestive Subtraction and the
Conscious Actions
of a Straightforward Particle
in Catabolic Capitulation.

Objectively Active Actions
of the Conscious
Yielding Concessively
to the Darkening Light.

Passively Impelling toward the
Formative Texture and
Terrestrial Density of the
Warm Moist Earth of a
Terrasphere.

The Converging or Coagulation
of the Cardinal Insides
at a Stationary Interlude
of Stasis.

The Moderate Resolve of
Negative Absention
and the Smiles of the
Good, Happy and Glad.

Along a Meandering River
in the Cool of an Autumn Moonrise
with Warm Air and a Cool Breeze
through Hibernating Maple Trees
a Black Male Dog
Sits on Dead Leaves
Feeling with Skin the Forming Earth
of Death's Deteriorate Encounters
