Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Aldebaran Dream

Aldebaran, giant red star,

Created in the Aztec mind,

The Follower in night sky far

Of demons bound for humankind,

Seeking to catch them before they

Could reach and demonize the earth.

Aztecs charted the star display,

Built pyramids to worship worth

Of Aldebaran to at last

Catch and destroy the demon plan,

Before reaching the earth to cast

Doom o'er Aztecs place and time span.

Aztecs fretted the wrong mayhem,

As Spaniards came and destroyed them.
