@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; *The Kisses Of His Mouth*

Lord, I meant no disrespect or blasphemy

when---aware of the Apostle's promise of your Love for me---

I thought of it like the way I wanted to be

with G-Fix in nineteen sixty-nine

but this would not have been granted legality,

nor acceptance in the general vicinity,

which allowed no escape from the heteronormative blare.

Clad in black jeans, shoeless and shirtless, and all that long hair,

his appearance became a kind of simile

of the way You came, with a welcoming Word to me.

And when, eleven years old, I imagined cuddling in his embrace

(his shoes and shirt still missing), it gave an analog to Your Grace

which has saved my broken soul unto Your Eternity,

so that my life could be called Starwatched with accuracy.


Starward-Led, a Roman Catholic Christian
