Almost Forty Years Ago
How do I mourn and or remember a time, almost forty years ago, with my first love? White wine, surely not red or even rosé, but sweet, could be a start, under a tree overlooking the rising Sun following a night of feasting after such a long fast. The setting Sun would lose its splendour before that night, when her skin and flesh would surpass it, no matter the ambient lighting, as long and short bursts of love and lust, and passion, would fill the atmosphere, searching for some molecules from 1984, and 1985.

Pussy Willows
Pussy willow is the name given to many of the smaller species of the genus, Salix (willows and sallows), when their furry catkins (slim, cylindrical flower clusters) are young in early spring. These species include (among many others) the goat willow or sallow (Salix caprea), the grey willow or sallow (Salix cinerea), and the American pussy willow (Salix discolor). Before male catkins come into full flower, they are covered in fine, greyish fur, which led to their fancied likeness to tiny cats also known as pussycats or pussies.
