In "Moon and the Flying Star", Reynier Llanes draws from memories of rural Cuba, where bathtubs often sat outdoors—repurposed, exposed to nature, and integrated into the rhythm of farm life. Here, the Poet sits on the edge of one such tub under a dreamy, star-scattered sky, surrounded by bursts of color.

The bathtub becomes a vessel of reflection—holding not only water, but history, memory, and silence. In the quiet presence of the moon and the flicker of a passing star, Llanes reflects on life under communism, on resilience shaped by simplicity, and on the magic that still flickers in even the most ordinary objects.

The scene speaks to survival, transformation, and the quiet beauty of a childhood shaped by both hardship and imagination.
