Greetings, dear friend @d-pend!
Your poem, in spite of be short, is a poetic condensation that unravels bits of dissonance, because it starts from a luminous whole of multiple facets and darkens along the way with a definite purpose: to demonstrate that it is a magician of words.
The last line is in itself a challenge:

I've got the lab if you bring the vials.

Launched for those who do not analyze, do not comment on what they should read in a post and, on top of that, criticize with the intention of wearing down, reducing or nullifying the power of linguistic creativity when it comes to composing poetry. The word is power and as a thread of power, it builds a harmonious fabric that inspires not only beauty, but content, message. Therefore, one cannot take lightly the power that is wielded when one writes to be read by many. However, dissidence based on arguments is normal and should be respected if it is based. However, when it has no basis, it is best to continue with the good work and do it better each time. It is not easy and it hurts, but it is necessary to accept with humility that we are not "gold coins" to please everyone.
Peace and inner harmony are our temple and that is sacred, we should not expose it. The quality and creativity of his work is indisputable, do not let disappointment gain space in your creative process, it is not worth it.
On the other hand, I missed his presence and his "addictive" intricate poems.
I'm glad that your father is overcoming the bad health trance and that his errands for his move to China are flowing. By the way, when is that for? Does it already have a date?
I hope everything continues to improve (even the weather, which I feel affects you).
I wish that the Divinity that dwells in me will ingratiate itself with its higher self and fill it with love and forgiveness. I embrace you infinitely, Daniel.
