@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Alexei, 1, Barefoot In A Safe Place, With Kolya And Joy, Summer Of 1919

Clad in baggy trousers and an oversized shirt,

with a whole morning]s grass stains on his toes and each soul:

in the bloom of adolescence, he felt very beautiful.

With Alexei, Kolya---his best friend---loved to flirt,

both attracted to each other in desire's gentle pull.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Imagining an alternate history for them . . .


Joy was Alexei's dog.
