tossing granny smith wearing crowns of thorns
and stabbing martyrika into the core
peeling granny smith putting lotion in the basket
to ease starvation wrinkles biting granny smith
with braces in the mouth that have traces of blood
slicing granny smith with a knife sprinkled
with sea salt and chili boiling granny smith
in a brass pot with charred sugar on a burning red flame
