Errors of Judgement


beginnings of adulthood

beginnings of adulthood
first Sunday morning
awake and alive
and aware and alone

coffee and orange juice
nowhere to hurry to
nothing to do
and nobody to phone

pure possibility
sun in the morning
an islet of calm
in this river of days

finally finding
an end to the fighting
and self-mutilation
of old teenage ways
