Midlife Musings
3 min readMay 1, 2020
Midlife is sex
that moves like a conversation,
not a conquest.
It’s the removal of the cloak of roles
that used to hang like a noose
around your neck.
Midlife unfurls the cloak like a blanket,
sits its ass on it and sets about
feasting
on all the delicious food
it used to deny itself.
It knows life is a fleeting picnic,
and it better dig in
while the getting’s good.
