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.
