@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; A Young Man, 19 Years Old, Visits The Apartment Of His BoyFriend, The Same Age [XLIX]

Long-haired, clad only in stockings (and garter

belt), otherwise naked, he greets you at the

door.  He is already engorged---aroused by

the prospect of the night's pleasures.  Tonight, you

do not hesitate.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is both realistic (an experience described to me by the young man to whom the poem is addressed) and ekphrastic.  Prior to the event, the young man to whom the poem is addressed was troubled by his Homosexual nature, as I was at that age.  But his boyfriend's beauty very rapidly "untroubled" him . . . for good.


The title is an imitation of some of Constantine Cavafy's titles, as translated by Keeley and Sherrard.
