The beet is the murderer returned to the scene of the crime.
The beet is what happens when the cherry finishes with the carrot.
The beet is the ancient ancestor of the autumn moon, bearded,
buried, all but fossilized; the dark green sails of the grounded
moon-boat stitched with veins of primordial plasma;
the kite string that once connected the moon
to the Earth now a muddy whisker
drilling desperately for rubies.

The beet was Rasputin’s favorite vegetable.
You could see it in his eyes.
