She was an apple thief
\na thief of summer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fruit
\nit was just natural to poison what she fed on
\nafter all, who
\nwould pity the rat that ate of poisoned bait?<\/p>\n
And she was quite another sort of vermin
\nher seven tails dug seven trails
\nbehind her, no matter where she went
\nand the voice was infinitely fairer
\nthan the evil maw it came from<\/p>\n
in the snowy woods of ebony
\nher blood-red lips lay hidden
\nand her lair was a grave of apple cores
\nthat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where she had taken the fruit
\nof poison, the two-faced apple<\/p>\n
it is also where she lay asleep in ice
\nas if it were a bed of crystal glass
\nwho would have thought that all this apple bite
\ncould leave her merely sleeping?
\nThe prince saw her sleep in this deep<\/p>\n
deep forest and to her lips
\nhe lost his mind
\nhe kissed her and kissed the poison from her lips,
\ndrank it from her throat and collected
\nthe stray drops of venom from her teeth<\/p>\n
Gone mad from kissing poison
\nit is no wonder
\nthat he had people dance themselves to ashes
\nin fire shoes of glowing iron
\n–how his eyes gleamed when they danced!<\/p>\n
It is no wonder also
\nthat he would keep her apple sweet breath
\nbeneath his tongue, his pillow
\nand in the fabric of his sheets and that his
\nshrouds were made of apple peels
\nthat the beast had woven tightly, like a noose<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
