THE HIDDEN CARTOGRAPHY OF INFLUENCE

Shadowcloud reified near lightwave streamcast,

cast down in time's upper echelons,

pernicious fragmentary solitude,

filled with fear and coaligned comingled diasporic diatribes,

devolving in the culpability of a divining seduction,

harvesting the monument of cumbersome time,

disentangled and disheveled,

in the decompensations of articulate whim,

made to canonize the ambience of their intent,

full of countervalent woes,

emulating the hidden cartography of influence.
