Catkins

More pussy willow observations.

The catkins

On the very top

Of the pussy willow branches

Have sprouted

Fur upon fur

Pale yellow green fur

On the soft gray.

It begs for some new spring

Flying thing

To find it

For nourishment

For pollination

Maybe perhaps for both.

I realize

I do not know the life cycle

Of pussy willows,

One of the many many things

I do not know.

Still

It remains an amazing thing

Of Spring.
