@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Midong, A Sijo

I watched him draw near:  shirtless (nipples erect), clad in baggy

trousers made from supple cloth; his footsteps, shoeless, sheathed in fragrant

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Midong is a Korean word meaning "Beautiful Boy."  The romantic event in this sijo took place in the summer of 1975, after both of us had attained the age of seventeen.
