Fair Trade

 

after my parents

auctioned off 

my prevailing older sister

 

the successful bidder 

being a trader in sand-

dwelling livestock

 

my only child childhood 

was a stormless event

spent in the company 

 

of three gifted camels 

living out of a shoebox 

with holes punched for air
