Jackfruit - Outburst of a Lifetime


Jackfruit - Outburst of a Lifetime 

A phenomenon beyond our understanding,
yet in our very eyes does happen,
from algal and fungi bloom, to locust swarming,
 at the threshold of life before its end.

Dr Abe V Rotor

Author's wife Cecille counts the fruits of a single nangka tree,
including those arising from underground,  Agoo, La Union

Over laden with all these fruits,
a burst of a lifetime -
young to die, like a mother
cut in her prime. ~
