@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; To Basho, In Praise Of His Young BoyFriend, 02 [ /;\ ]

When I see blooming

peonies receive eager

penetrators, I

think of your boyfriend, Toyo;

and your own eagerness, too.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was inspired by one of Basho's Haiku about a bee withdrawing from a ripe peony.
