@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Four Unrelated Stanzas About Young, Beautiful Men Making Love [XLIX]

Not just dark blue cloth, or some fitted bedding,

the old sheet feels like a section of clear night

sky---bearing long white streaks (stars' rays, or tails of

meteorites):  e'lated sweetstuff of the

boyfriends who sleep there.



The way he looked at you as you looked at him---

long-haired, shirtless and barefoot, clad in baggy

lounging pants---sparked the connection, your soul to

his, soon consummated by your bodies in

intimate pleasures.


January sleet slams the high window late

Friday night.  Naked, except for striped socks, the 

boyfriends cuddle beneath a sheet, two blankets

and two quilts; wet streaks left from their e'lations---

having come, are gone.


The boyfriends know four socks nuance their naked

beauty.  They have lost count of the kisses and

caresses.  But at the peaks of pleasure, they

know how many core contractions launch the long

strings of their sweetstuff.
