Lovely! I really like how the poem moves from something huge and unreachable (Jupiter, the moon) into very intimate, domestic choices like hair, scissors, tea. That shift feels honest, like the way desire and restraint actually coexist. Some of the strongest moments for me are when you stay with the body and the objects rather than explaining the feeling. The ending especially stayed with me: choosing warmth over impulse felt earned.
There is an alluring mystery to this, Rena. With the celestial bodies making it grand and beyond reach, and then culminating it like a soft whisper. Beautiful
I love your expression of smaller days when the silent rage begins to whisper - I have experienced those. Tea is not always the answer, but it sure does help.

Your remarks are a treasure, thank you, Jaap 🌻
Adoring this heartfelt piece as well; though at the moment, you're in anxiety, your emotions are raging.
And yes, a cup of tea, why not!

Jupiter embodies the Tao well.
Intrigue is always interesting. Well-done, rena.
