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.

I want people to learn

It's still amazing to me how often clients come in for my help with something I often struggle with myself. I hope it remains amazing.

I want people to learn

What I myself often

Cannot do

Cannot see

Cannot hear.

I want people to learn these things

So I myself

Might

Begin again

To learn the same.
