@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; After Reading Vergil's Eclogues

Look quickly, carefully, toward that copse of trees, and

you may glimpse them---briefly---as they meet

among the vines and foliage; naked, tumescent,

their long hair cascading around their shoulders; as

slender and agile as the fawns of spring, and as skittish

(especially when the intrusion of haters, or other brutals, is

sensed).  The kisses and caresses they exchange are as

delicate as the music of celestas, a resonance you hear

whenever you draw to such exquisitely erotic beauty;

exquisitely erotic adolescent beauty.

They have ascended, and like to linger upon, the

peaks of uninhibitedly sensual pleasure; and, as

you gaze upon them, they (oblivious to you)

attain the release of their sweetness in similtaneity,

while you, amazed at their presence---which is poetry---

achieve it without effort, spontaneously.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is an imaginary response of an imaginary reader having just read the Poety of Vergil in The Eclogues.  As I wrote it, though, I had in mind Wallace Stevens' great poem, The Idea Of Order At Key West.
