Savage Garden

Morning glories have made 
The sunflowers sad,
Bowed down as they are 
By the weight of their clingy burden.
While carefree, innocent clover 
Lead on to the greenwood
Where gray wolves conspire with ravens,
And whatever’s been eating 
Tiger lilies along the fence
Waits with patience 
In deep summer shadow.
Economies of profit and loss.
