Worm on Window

An unusual visit

Photo taken by the author.

Worm on window?
Yes, it did crawl
up the clean glass
pane’s wailing wall.

Worm seeking wood?
So far from source!
Environment…
veering off course?

Worm asking why?
Yet defying
physics to be
mystifying.

Worm: a warning?
Or…a request?
Need of witness
amidst breakfast?

NOTE: Early this morning while we were dining at the breakfast table, there were several small green worms crawling up the kitchen window. Why? Across the courtyard are the vines they likely want as habitat. What appeal did the glass offer?
