Callie Carroll - A Fair Trade?

</>Exchange
bland white bread
for the round tang of basil


eau de artifice
with the scent of honest sweat


ringtones, mine and not mine,
for the reedy whirr of bee wings


the opulence of silk
with the grit of soil under nails

Become lost
in a pale, lime wing

against purple petunia.
