again almost
a lifetime of opportunities
spent on settling
for second best
love almost found
hearts almost won
life almost contented
and even after finding
where the grail is
I see it there before me
it will not be had
nor does it seek to consume me
only the disease of unease
the threat of implosion
house of me divided
never win
only almost
settling again
to be unsettled
