Why Not Clearing and Cleaning

                   Nature clears, cleans through era :
                    Species go on extinction,
                     cleaning space for new entry
                       under evolution.

                    Plants shedding leaves
                    on scheduled clearance
                     at end of Winter
                     removing garbage
                     to enter in fresh foliage
                       at Spring in zing.

                     In last phase of life
                   Me preparing to clear
                    not only trumpery
                    but also preserved treasure,-
                      my precious pleasure
                          in own territory,

                     No more to live
                    being ready to leave
                    in free mind ——-
                    Why not clearing
                    and cleaning
                     everything 
                     to be redefined …
