Midnight

[abu nuwas]

There is not the least reason why an artisan should not be soulful; that borders on elitism, which is more my territory..... We had silk-worms at one time, as kids, and they were much like other things which make cocoons--- which I haven't seen in an age. One had to keep getting mulberry leaves, I think.

I don't much care for haiku, but do like brevity. Stupidly, I kept thinking of glow-worms, which I have never seen, and are now rare in the UK. Very nice, in a non-sycophantic sort of way...
