Cat’s Ears (Calochortus elegans)
or, Elegant Mariposa Lily
a diminutive plant with slender, bent
stems and a few sparse white flowers
in a branched cluster
shorter than the single grass-like leaf
resembling a cat’s ears
I scratch my field notes
curiosity has caught my tongue
the mousy-day is held by its tail
in my teeth
ears twitching
satisfied
