@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; The PickUp, In Seoul; A Sijo [ /;\ ]

In the storefront, he---clad in baggy cargos and sole-grimed white socks---

waited for his boyfriend to come pick him up.  His boyfriend arrived.

Later, naked except for their socks, they came . . . repeatedly.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The sijo is ekphrastic.


They tell me that Homosexual couples are shunned or actively persecuted in South Korea.  This poem defies that prejudice.
