II.
The beak of pruning shears
clacks along the hedge of rose trees.
Another calls back, from the border.
Soon a straw of young sprouts,
tips rosy as dawn,
green and succulent further down,
will lie beneath the roses.
On the border, stiff wands
of apricot, sacrificed,
will burn with small flower- flames
an hour before dying,
and the bees let none of it perish.
