It was not the guilt she felt
steaming the enamel ashtray of Venus
More so than when she first started seeing a woman's skin in a skein
More so than when she first started seeing a woman's skin in a skein
Of her own hair, a snake created
itself somewhere in the sea crinkling
Before these shadows of eves, and
from then on an unstopping
Facsimile—these offerings of both
freedom and security insinuating
Like the rising Aphrodite—better another person reaching to tip
Like the rising Aphrodite—better another person reaching to tip
The flare from her lip, meaning foliage and temptation embowering
In full measure of the bite, while
all in the view of the balcony
She grasps her neck, her hair sloughing off for the brighter
She grasps her neck, her hair sloughing off for the brighter
That we might have retained,
underneath our own figures.

True story: my early infatuation with a long-since discarded "The Birth of Venus" ashtray.

You are still the same person.
Valid during several weeks: At this time you have to get in touch with your own subconscious mind, to find out how it directs your life in ways that you aren't aware of. Try to see how your actions may run counter to your conscious intentions. We all broadcast two kinds of signals to the outer world. One kind is what we think we are trying to do. The other kind, which are unconscious signals, tell people what we are really trying to do. If these two sets of signals do not coincide, it is not because you are intentionally trying to deceive, but you may confuse people or even worse, cause them to lose faith in what you are trying to do. This is not a time to be wrapped up in your ego. You must be prepared to acknowledge your faults and your virtues without fear or self-recrimination.
