3 Ian Beesley BOBBIN DOFFER, CARRYING HISTORY
Look at this man, how he carries the bobbins So carefully, each hand just so. Here, and here. He’s carrying the jokes and he’s carrying the stories The Bobbin Doffers told each other in the brief rests They took, when the sun from the windows lit the wool in the air. In a kind of practised geometry of balancing. He’s carrying the structure of a lost language, A lost way of thinking, a set of skills and solutions That hung in the air for a while like wool in light, Then faded. Like he’s carrying history. And he can’t see where he’s going, can’t see which way History’s heading. But we can see him. Ian McMillan Ian Beesley
