Then the mirror began to hate me.
Me and the mirror were smashed.
Stale breadcrumbs, vodka and glass
falling down into another
bathtub coffin.
Dripping blood, then drying out,
unless I keep bleeding inside
my cracked glass coffin until
blood covers my body and mind.
Bloody grim fairy tale entrapment
in which I visibly bleed out or else
I just disappear.
Juliet Cook doesn't fit inside an Easy-Bake Oven and rarely cooks. Her
poetry has appeared in a peculiar multitude of literary publications.
She is the author of numerous poetry chapbooks, most recently
including "red flames burning out" (Grey Book Press, 2023), "Contorted
Doom Conveyor" (Gutter Snob Books, 2023), "Your Mouth is Moving
Backwards" (Ethel Zine & Micro Press, 2023), "REVOLTING" (Cul-de-sac
of Blood, 2024), and "Blue Stingers Instead of Wings" (Pure Sleeze
Press, 2025). Her most recent full-length poetry book, "Malformed
Confetti" was published by Crisis Chronicles Press. You can find out
