willow’s yellow lips
silenced by the summer, fall
reveal squirrel’s nest

In Judaism the Lulav helps to celebrate Sukkot a Fall harvest Festival.
Several plants make up the Lulav.
"Etrog refers to the heart, the place of understanding and wisdom.
Lulav refers to the backbone, uprightness. Myrtle corresponds to the eyes,
enlightenment. Willow represents the lips, the service of the lips (prayer)."
Note: I had always thought of the willow leaves as eyes because of their shape.
Interesting to find different interpretations.
