Vitiligo

Pools of milk white

Conquer territories on my copper ground

Meandering along my palm

Gently greeting my fingers with a kiss

The same ivory blankets my eyelids

Caressing my eyelashes,

Carelessly flirting with the pigment shying away,

I stare at my reflection

Watching the white silently map my body

With no intention of return,

Victorious in their battle against the melanin,

Triumphantly waving flags of success

As the brown cowers in defeat

Surrendering their turf
