@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; By The Live Oak, With Its Moss

Beneath the live oak, with moss hangings, I found

a young man (clad in mesh tee, skimpy shorts---legs

and feet bare), mourning his lack of confidence.

I harvested his glistening sweetness as

he smiled between gasps.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The title was inspired by a sequence of love poems by Walt Whitman.  My poem is ekphrastic.
