a daily tanka – 31 May

during lockdown
I made marmalade 
from windfall mandarins

the tree is laden again 
how relentless        this flight 

It’s the first winter storm as I write, and this is playing in the background (album link) (something similar from YouTube). May Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden ease your weather wherever you are this morning…

  1. Ahhh to have windfall mandarins, enough to make marmalade. Happy musical selection. Makes me think of a Charley Brown soundtrack 🙂 I’m sure you’ve heard Jarrett’s Bach’s Goldberg Variations…

      1. Your tree would be a good one to clone from. I was just reading about a place in Michigan that clones from the oldest of the redwoods; redwoods filter vastly more CO2 out of the atmosphere than other trees. Oh my gosh, just listened to that Jarrett concert story. Darkness can *never* defeat light. Thank you for the share.
