Aldebaran’s Gaze

(Photo credit to EarthSky News)

I am blazoned
A beast in the sky
with one red eye
and my sights are
on you!
I said I am blazoned!
I am the language
of ages and I care
to seek you out
to whip you with my tongue.
You trembling matador.
Now!
Put down your
red strength
and look into
my red eye.

See! 

Beast to man 

Without spear or fear.

I owe you my life 

but you owe me yours!
You fear that I might
make you wild?!
Then tame me!
Tame me?
I will close
my red eye and
become the
dark that sleeps
between the
stars.
