Loved this introspective poem that set on the precipice of passing to the other side of existence. These lines I highlighted are very true. My rondeau poem about a sailor, https://medium.com/write-under-the-moon/oh-soulful-mariner-51e5136226d8, which I see now you did already enjoy, started with these two lines:

"Born enslaved with trappings of advantage

Handsome wealthy white male privilege"

which harkened back to a tanka I had written in April 2021:

"Incarnate handsome

Book-smart wealthy privileged

Behind these 8-balls

Face yours and others’ demons

Emerge confident and Light"

If you or any other reader is interested in the thoughts behind the poem, https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/the-lesson-plan-d1f468b4b394
