Pussy Willow
The pussy-willows are flowering
The soft down now covered with yellow anthers
As a kid it was fun to rub the flowers against your cheek, enjoying the softness
As adults we hurry by with more important business
And forget the experience of the pussy-willows on our cheeks
The soft down now covered with yellow anthers
As a kid it was fun to rub the flowers against your cheek, enjoying the softness
As adults we hurry by with more important business
And forget the experience of the pussy-willows on our cheeks

Dear T,
I forgot how we used pick them as bunches for wild flower arrangements. Caressing our faces with the down of them…such fond memories. Lovely write. H🌷
