I like it, particularly the Pleiades reference. I think they get insufficient attention in the Western canon, Mary Poppins excepted of course.

Among the Blackfoot, the Pleiades are linked to climate change.

Kiss me, rekiss me, & kiss me again:
Give me one of your most delicious kisses,
A kiss in excess of my fondest wishes:
I'll repay you four, more scalding than you spend.

You complain? Well, let me ease your pain
By giving you ten more honeyed kisses.
And as kiss with kiss so happily mixes,
Let's ease back into our shared joy again.

Then a double life to each shall ensue.
Each shall live: you in me, & me in you.
Love, something crazy comes to mind:

I can't bear living on my best behavior,
And there's no joy I could truly savor,
Unless aroused to leave myself behind.

—Louise LabĂ©, c. 1555

At least the Chili Peppers are doing their part.
