Bread

by JRP

Today    
the bread line
curves around the infirmary.
exposed,
you and i
huddle close for warmth
we won’t find
in a crust of bread.

Today    
in the solarium,
the warden eats meat
brought home by the hunters…

and the line grows.

Today
anguish etched in glass,
you and i
watch through the window.
