Beetroot Bleeding

Sun settled over

beetroot sky, like

mother hen over

clutch.

 

And I could smell

the beetroots burning

against horizon

shift.

 

Sizzle-flip

and turn them over.

Leaking pale red into

the sea.

 

One dimensional folding paper,

greaseproof (we presume);

Wrap it up, tape the ends.

Send light to the moon.
