@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Summary Of A Summer Night; A Young Man's Ginger Curls, Perhaps With Stockings [XLIX]

[spoken by a young man's lover, some days after the young man

celebrated his arrival at the legal age of consent in your vicinity]


Profusion of ginger curls (several years'

growth without a barbers' sheers) cascade over

your bare shoulders, almost to your waist; naked,

or clad in just stockings---in either form---your

beauty is complete.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In the spring of 1979. I was privileged to see Saturn and its rings through my university's telescope in its working observatory.  Seeing the young man of this poem, both entirely naked and, also, clad only in stockings for his lover, was a similar experience.
