Reflections: White Scorpion

We are bound and branded by limitations,

forged and hardened by desires;

We taste the sexual fantasies of our

middle-aged awakenings, but lie in bed

alone when aged is deemed detrimental;

Our eyes spin false truths of attraction

while senses proclaim emancipation

and interracial relationships are as common

as the flu without a vaccine, and we

willingly submit to the domination of pleasure

regardless of who we are supposed to be.
