On the first blank page:
I'm a worm (For Camilla)
[drawing of the worm]
I'm a worm
but a glow-worm
and my light
shines in dark places
and the elephant
has no light - never!
but some thing
in the sea
are electric &
incandescent an shine. Good for them!
and above are
glow worms
in the sky
called stars shining,
& stunning suns.
Come to think of it
I'm a stunning sun
too as a GLOW worm in my dark
dark world!
W. B. 23/3/76
