COMET NISHIMURA AND EPSILON LEONIS IN 2023
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
‘O, Nishimura -
the comet of the dawn
rising from the grass…’
(Valentin Grigore)
.
A comet of classical beauty,
C/2023 P1,
passing through Cancer, Leo, Virgo…
and making me dream of
a flying goddess with flowing hair!
.
Dear Epsilon Leonis,
she was so close to you!
.
Ras Elased Australis,
you could have caught her!
.
Oh, sad Algenubi,
what a wasted hit!
.
And what a big miss
just a cosmic kiss!
