Too Late to Be Fast

Here is the thing:
Time is all there is.
And time moves faster than
Birds, trees, thoughts, light, sky.

I went to the cupboard,
and smelled all the world.
The sweet bergamot;
The pungent, smoky lapsang.

Am I too late?
Was I too scared?
Or was I just watching
The birds, trees, thoughts, light, sky?

I think of the letters
That I never wrote you
On those bright afternoons,
When you were all the world
In all the world.
