TAKE THIS CINNAMON ROLL
Break this raisin-filled sweet bread
behind the chain-linked barbed-wire fence
in the spirit in which it was baked for you
in the oven of empathetic hope.
Faith is not an argument.
We have been separated by those
who have written the law.
This incomplete meal
will be remembered
as the sorrow of the morning.
