THE RESCUE ZEPPELIN
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
Once in November
I went to the southern hemisphere
to see a solar eclipse,
but I almost got lost
in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
.
Then I prayed to the Southern Cross
and was saved by an oblate spheroid,
actually
a space zeppelin called Achernar,
actually
a crazy blue star.
