Mulligan's Island

John Renbourn: Scarborough Fair

Pentangle: Solomon's Seal

The yard was
full of tomato plants
about to ripen,
and mint, mint,
everything smelling of mint,
and one fine old tree
that I loved to sit under
on those cool
perfect starry
California October nights
unmatched
anywhere in the world.
