Bakery Heiress / Bread Orphan

The bakery heiress
slips like a shadow
between the window
panes

head-to-toe
designer dress
a picture of Parisien finesse
but inside - a tale of woe -
the pains

of an orphan whose
very fortunes rose
and fell with the doomed course
of her parents'
plane

and so,
she and her sister, now
multi-millionairesses
are two
mournful, bread
dauphins.
