Those Who Live in Grass Houses

Maybe

Maybe

Maybe the gift has departed
Maybe imagined it was
Maybe I shouldn’t have started
Maybe there is no “because”

Maybe it’s old age has robbed me
Maybe the whole thing is dross
Maybe good sense should have stopped me
Maybe it’s all about loss.

Maybe there aren’t any answers
Maybe I should leave by the door
Maybe we’re nothing but chancers
Maybe - but this is one more.
