Poem 160 of 230: IN MACCLESFIELD'S MULBERRY TREE - SUMMER 2001
After hearing the ways
Of the old silk-weaving trade,
While being served some tea,
Within the Mulberry Tree,
Memories came back to me
Of, during my infant days,
Feeding ‘worms till sheaths were made -
After hearing the ways
Of the old silk-weaving trade,
While being served some tea,
Within the Mulberry Tree,
Memories came back to me
Of, during my infant days,
Feeding ‘worms till sheaths were made -
But not for (cruel) industry..?
