Waterstop is scheduled, at Monkeytree Station. The
locomotive begins to slow, then to resist the
forward motion of the coupled coaches it has been
pulling; old brakes squeal, connectors crash together as the
train sides on to the spur, then to the waiting water tower.
Dismal desolation dominates all horizons and dimensions that
somehow center on the delapidated depot that is
Monkeytree Station---like a haunted site from the
seepage of sepia out of a silent movie eleven decades agp.
Yet, as you step down to the platform, you find your lover---
long-haired, shirtless, clad in baggy beige cargos, barefoot.
He leads you to an occluded corner; there you nuzzle the
cords of his muscuar neck with your eager kisses, as the
whistle shrieks to announce departure, but the profusion of
his sweetness is released to you, achieving splashdown, in the
exquisite and erotic vivification
coming, through you and your lover, into Monkeytree Station.

I apologize to all who read
I apologize to all who read the original posting for the typos I let slip by. In explanation, I was very ill---so I found out later---and nearly bled to death internally. A hematoma on my left flank remains to remind me of all the blood I lost. Hence, several poems, posted lately, may have typos in them. I correct them as I can. Please let me know if you see any: I will fix those with priority.

You captured Tumbleweed's artistry with dazzling finesse; amazing that your imagination continued to shine through even when sedated. I can't string two coherent lines together when I'm heavily medicated.
This is a finely-woven addition to your Ad Astra series. I'm hoping I'll have the pleasure of reading more when you're feeling better. Take care of yourself. God bless.
