Curl

This will be a very full week: more clients than usual, a day of continuing education, spring allergies, and a spinning head. Today I observe the cat and the curly willow on the front table.

Slowly
Slowly
I learn new pacing.
Tomorrow will be a combination
Of allergies,
A crowd of Christian mental health folk,
A minister or two
And my head,
Prone to spin
These days.
Today I focus
On the curly willow,
On the cat,
Curled in a ball,
Sound asleep,
One of his many
Morning naps.

Slowly
Slowly I learn
New pacing.
Tomorrow I will be present
As I am able
I will curl as necessary
I will green like the willow
When it happens.
