Different order

I wondered for days and days whether this was perhaps not a "forsythia year." Other years have brought forsythia gold before the green buds. This year they arrived together.

The trees and bushes greened
Before the forsythia
Popped gold.
Spring arrived
In different order.
Perhaps it is always
In different order,
But I don’t notice.
On the front table
The pussy willow
The curly willow
Bud green
In the clear glass vase,
White root filaments
Beg to be planted
Out back
Next to the creek.
