I have saved myself

I have saved myself

By just turning around a corner

In a warm winter night.

I have saved myself

Turning my back to dark

And to whatever that

Would be

Or

Might mean.

I have saved myself

Just maybe a year ago

For a grey hair and a

Stylish hand

With a tonic gin

Have seen me in

Or pretended to.
