Grandma woke up to find that she had been eaten. It was intolerably damp inside this stomach. Acidic too, of course. In fact, it was the tingling sensation of her skin being corroded away that had woken her in the first place.
“I wonder who could have done this to me,” Grandma thought. “Well, at least I haven’t been digested yet.”
She then pulled out the knife she kept in her stocking and cut herself out of the belly of the beast. When she was out, she found that the beast, a wolf it seemed, had stayed in her bed. How odd.
“Oh my, Grandmother,” said Little Red Riding Hood. “What big . . . uh. Um. Hi, Grandma. I’ve brought you some flowers.”

consecrate
authenticity an arsenic
in morning coffee, in the smiles
pressed like ironed laundry,
because I feel like one wrong breath,
one wrong kiss between glossed lips and soft jaws
and I will be nailed to a cross
deception a shame rising like steam,
where teeth grind against each other
like clockwork gears, tick tick ticking
while the tongue kisses the roof of its cathedral
like a prayer to gods yet to be named
because her face is a mosaic window
shining the sin out of love

I fell in love through a thin sheet of glass
Scraping my skin on the shards as it shattered.
And I fell asleep reaching for your hands
Dreaming of unwritten notes and dial tones.
I thought it would taste like pink lemonade,
But the way I say your name is metallic.
I thought you would be a way to escape,
But my wires got crossed and I became lost.
You're just chasing residual noise
And I'm losing my digital voice.

...then there is a way in diswaiting.
Dust some yellow sand covers,
here uncover bare bedding.
...suffusing red planes, blushed dunes,
under incidentally quilted blanket
wet as arid curves, as sounds.
...in a persistent pavement,
in a solemn unsuited promise,
some written words erase
some letters drip and soak
unto a perfuse miracle,
a dislocated split,
a letting go of...

Grandma... is this a common occurrence? Do you often wake up to find that someone's gone and eaten you when you were asleep?
Nice piece! Certainly an interesting twist on the old tale, eh?
Maybe try modifying it a bit to sound a bit more doddering and/or cranky. "I wonder what rapscallion's done this. This simply won't do!"
