Gather the far world close by choosing a lovely thing from a distant land.
Thursday keeps the horizons zone tender, Pisces, Venus stirring the pull toward distant places while the road stays shut. Gather the far world close through a market. Visit the international grocer or the world-goods store across town and drift through its aisles of imported beauty, the wrapped sweets, the unfamiliar flowers, the scripts you cannot read. Choose one lovely thing from a country you have never seen. Venus travels through the beautiful object. You carry the far-off home in a small bag, the outing repaid by a piece of somewhere distant now resting on a shelf in your own rooms, the longing softened by the loveliness you brought back with you.
