Coming to terms with the compass
I believe everything happens for a reason
but I was struggling with this one
Death and I had danced many times
since I was a child
and the juke joint
that she preferred
was open 24/7
and she loves to dance...
No
I think this road
was to walk in the shoes of another
to relate to all of those
that had a disease
that could kill them
This was a road they call empathy
but I was struggling with this one
Death and I had danced many times
since I was a child
and the juke joint
that she preferred

that had a disease
that could kill them
This was a road they call empathy

The visual of dancing with death echoed with the activities of youth is both striking and effective as a passage of time in your poem. I enjoyed this little piece of introspection.
Thank you for sharing this part of your journey.
