Sooner or later…

Past happens fast,
kitchen tiles,
shower tiles,
missing everywhere.

Today’s crisp apples
just passing through,
will fall withered,
for they know
tomorrow’s ground
is waiting.

But we…

Time wastes little time,
as worms emerge,
birds converge,
memories submerge.

Like a tenuous teardrop,
yesterday lingers,
wants but a bit more time.
