Up early

Things (and people) show growth as they are made to show growth. Sometimes it's curly growth. Up early today, witnessing the curliness of things.

Up early,

I learn the curly willow

Is up early

As well,

Lit by morning sun

Shadowed curly

On the living room carpet.

Up early

I learn

Pussy willows green

In a different order

Catkins first

Then comes green.

Up early

I write this

In its particular order,

Somewhat curly

In its own right.
