The Floral Alchemist
A Tautogram to the Ancient Arts
Ambiparous Atropa attackers
among an Aconitum arrangement;
alluring Absinthium and Asters
accompany aforementioned agents.
~
Arrhythmiated, asphyxiated,
an alchemical annihilation;
all associated, all acquitted,
adament against all accusation.
~
An alchemists's ancient arboretum,
anhydrous astral afterlife, alive;
await adventual athenaeum--
apprehend all astrophysics: arrive.
~
Across, ancestral abundance abound.
Ashes, ashes, aetherial aground.
~~
