The way that I'm reading it is as a kind of literary spaghettification as each stanza is gradually sucked into the singularity. It's an interesting idea that I think could work. However the clues as to what is happening also seem to be partly the faults of the poem, such as repetition. I know now afterwards why there is repetition in the poem but at the time it was quite distracting. I think you could lose some of the repetition and still convey the idea.
Cheers for the read,

Green grass chases the silhouette - Don't need 'green' here again

as the fading sun sets
below summers horizon. - could possibly lose 'summers' here and even possibly have 'the eventful horizon' which would tie in with the black hole metaphor
Greenery surrounds walls
of a broken home

Earthen tones reach out to grasp
unnatural shapes falling into
perpetual darkness.
Darkness meets light
as shapes soften.
