Opuntia ficus-indica, the Indian fig opuntia, fig opuntia, or prickly pear, is a species of cactus that has long been a domesticated crop plant grown in agricultural economies throughout arid and semiarid parts of the world.

Morro Rock Ecological Preserve, CA (No. 2)
It [the Morro Rock] is composed mostly of dacite, an igneous, volcanic rock. It is a groundmass of plagioclase, with amphibole (hornblende), biotite, pyroxene (augite), quartz, and glass; it also includes phenocrysts of plagioclase. Its silicon dioxide (SiO2) content ranges from 63 to 69 percent.
The dacite volcanic plugs, lava domes, intrusive sheets, and felsitic rhyolite-dacite between Morro Rock and Islay Hill are part of the Morro Rock-Islay Hill Complex of the Oligocene epoch (from 27 to 23 million years ago). The complex lies east of the San Gregorio-San Simeon-Hosgri fault (the SG-SS-H fault). This complex is one of three probable sources of the volcanic clasts within the sandstone and conglomerate of the Miguelito and Edna members of the Pismo Formation in the Point Sur area 145–160 km (90-100 mi) to the north and west of the SG-SS-H fault. Based on paleomagnetic signatures, the Morro Rock-Islay Hill Complex was rotated 40 to 50 degrees, perhaps during late Miocene or early Pliocene time.

Tamarind Tree
Those were the impeccable times.
Thatched roof home, cow-dung veneered verandah stretched from the shallow pond to the phani manasa shrub.
Grandmother appearing. Two brinjals in hand. Two khadus on two wrists. Jingling. Ironly cuffs.
Said, "These are yours now — two young cows, you Badua! Take them to the grazing field. Protect them from Pashupati the bull. Collect dung in an iron pail.
We will not cut anymore this year a tamarind tree.
Only dry coconut shells, chaffs, cow dung cakes to boil cauldrons of paddy.”
The two brinjals were burnt the same night on the embers of a two-mouth chuli. Their violet skins peeled off, revealing mouth watering meat.
The same year, my grandmother peed on the verandah. On the mud it had made she slid, to break her forehead against her iron arm.
The vaidya prescribed a Chandrayan.
"Scant virtue, woman, too much phlegm! Yet, your silly heart beats!" He roared kindly.
Crooked lips — red eyes — three aunts circled in from their in-laws’ by noon —
At nightfall, we downed a tamarind tree.
Glossary:
Phani Manasa: Indian prickly pear tree, Opuntia ficus-indica. Khadus: Thick bangles. Badua: The head of a village (affectionately used). Chuli: An oven made by digging a hole in the ground. Vaidya: An ayurvedic doctor. Chandrayan: A Hindu ritual to wash off the sins of one who is soon to be deceased.
(The poem was first published in the Sahitya Akademi's ‘Indian Literature’ #326 in December, 2022)
