In the Moment
Looking upward
through stars
at the giant
who’s fists balled in rage
who broke
me

That's a pretty distinct image. As to what it means, it's vague enough that I think it can be interpreted lots of different ways. Some people would call that a strength. I'm in the middle camp, where I feel like the image is strong but don't know what I'm supposed to get from it.

Pascoite, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make these reviews. You have a fine critical eye and it's always a pleasure to see you've stopped by.

Holding my foot,
Looking down
At that stupid blue globe
On which I stubbed my toe
While strolling through
The stars.
May the dominant species
Wither!

I'm choosing to take this as the bad ending to Gurren Lagann, or possibly the lizard's perspective from Chicxulub.
Alternatively, having thought about it longer now, the phrase "seeing stars" comes to mind, referring to the dazed state after getting whooped.
Looking upward / through stars - perspective poet (P.P.) is likely on the ground, dazed, staring up
at the giant - opponent is clearly significantly larger than the P.P., leading me to think it may be a child to have evoked such a comparison
who’s fists balled in rage - Angry, possibly drunken parent
who broke / me - who did not or has not held back, breaking the poet physically, mentally, or both by this point
Man, at first I was all "angry god go brrr" but now that I've mentally framed it as child abuse I can't think of it any other way. I never got beat as a kid, but I could set a clock by my mom's arguments with her first husband (they usually started half way through Wheel of Fortune, so about 7:30) so I'm at least familiar with the reference frame.
Either way, nice work making me thing so hard about a scant few lines. Proper min-maxing technique.
