Little Apocalypse Valentine

The classical bust of Adam
In my romantic garden
Is looking a little post-modern
And droopy today with dew
Because the lantana have overrun
The dead orange and the branches
Of my blue-flowering 
Backyard tree keep asking
Why you must make it harder
Than it needs to be
Hanging over the roof when
You will all have to be cut back
And hauled out to the alley again
Spring has such eager hands
