Poetry

Three short poems

Jennifer Compton

 

In Her Mirror

 

A beautiful woman sees beautiful

and grows to see ugly.

An ugly woman only sees

ugly and ugly

er.

 

My washing machine says—Ohakune Ohakune Ohakune.

 

 

La Croix Mystique

 

The mystic cross on your palm

means bad luck and psychic ability.

It is one hell of a lot of bad luck

to know what will happen to you

before you die.
