Furnishings
As February nears, poetry returns. This one is from one of Port Angeles’ finest, Jerry Kraft.
316
Bottle neck of beauty rolling up the
yellow-tiled tunnel to the express lane.
Yearning
I do not want to be
remembered for my urine.
In this I differ from

There once lived a young scorpion
Who was always sick from her own poison…
Whenever she’d strike with her tail,
The back of head would get impaled.
