A Constellation of Influence about:

The Constituent Articulation of
Common Mutual and
Aggregate Consolidated things.

The Eventual Engagement of a
Decremental Process amid
Flexible Random Chaos.

The Mechanical Force of
Tangible Territoriality in a
Waning state of Depreciation.

The Declining Presence
and Deteriorate Influence
of the Element of Fire
and the Negative Influence
of the Visceral
In the Gradual Darkening of
Autumn's Declining Cool
Late October, 8:00 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.

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

The Converging or Coagulation
of the Cardinal Insides
at a Transitory Instance
of Flux.

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

Along a Meandering River
in the Cooling of an Autumn Evening
with Warm Air and a Cool Breeze
through Hibernating Maple Trees
a Black Male Dog
Runs through Dead Leaves
Smelling with Nose the Forceful Fire
of Death's Deteriorate Efforts
