with flowers in my hair

Jul 10

Enter this Deserted House

But please walk softly as you do. 

Frogs dwell here and crickets too,

Ain’t no ceiling, only blue. 

Jays dwell here and sunbeams too,

Floors are flowers—take a few. 

Ferns grow here and daises too.

Whoosh, swoosh—too-white, too-woo, 

Bats dwell here and hoot owls too. 

Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee, hoo-hoooo,

Gnomes dwell here and goblins too.

And my child, I thought you knew

I dwell here… and so do you.

-Shel Silverstein
