Unfolding like spring itself,
phacelia morphs from 
ram’s horn to barbed-tailed scorpion to
cat’s tail curled at the end
in a wary twitch. 

Anomalous to neighboring
bright-faced poppies and asters,
unpretentious in muted greens and beige,
she nonetheless shimmers with
foraging bumblebees;
nature’s cornucopia.

dVerse quadrille prompt: horn.
