  This poem transports me straight into the kitchen. I can feel the glow of the lights, I can smell the stoves, and I can see the ingredients floating around the eye of the storm that is the woman. I loved how much focus the poem is able to draw to a singular moment. Everything else dies down and you are sucked into just these couple of frames in the larger "movie" that is life. It reminds me of my mother cooking for me, in this moment, she is youthful and will never age. I think the poem preserves that, just like how I never want to let go of that feeling despite knowing one day moments like that, too, will pass.
  
  Your poem invokes nostalgia without a personal anecdote or any link to the chronological passage of time, in that sense, I think its expression is truly universal. I really loved reading it. Keep writing! more »
