Warm garlic breads,
freshly baked vanilla cakes
and many other buttery aromas
ooze through
the flip-flopping doors
of this bakery shop.
Families come out,
content,
with packed goodies,
while, outside,
a little orphan
fills his stomach
with these empty wafts
and sleeps.

Oh damn! If this is who I think it is, you've done it again
A stunning piece! I could feel and smell everything in your write.
Thanks so much for your entry
