In recognition of Poetry Month, and to celebrate our treasure trove of Orcas Island poets, Orcas Issues is pleased and honored to offer daily poetry during April.

In the bosom of bread

There was a long-lost time
When I had a home
I made bread

The smell filled my home
The warmth, the soul of bread
I had a friend in time

Without a care, I ate the bread
And then I lost my friend, time
I sought a new home

Time after time, I bring new bread home,
Made by someone unknown
