I ask can the fabric take time Being so colored and fine And I visit the repulsing side A part from me unkind A part with an itch Which hates in order to grow I cannot erase the letter Remaining from before I was sold I film my desperate intention Disabling the sewing I fear the heavy snow The baby I was is harmed creating a new escape as I learn No innocence will he allow This child perceives the mourn inside Removing the latch I retrieve from him my silk woven tree Now flowing and begging to be free
