The Red Stilt House by Peno Hardesty
there once was a red stilt house
on the river bank
not too far
from the devon bridge
there once was a red stilt house
where on the porch
the words were spoken
they will always find you
the ones who tease
the ones who try to bring you down
the ones who you cannot hide from
not even under the devon bridge
so go to the place where you are safe
inside your head
no one can find you there
protect ypurself
inside your head
love who you love
be who you are
never let anyone steal your ability to love
never let anyone steal your soul
some say
the red stilt house just vanished
but i know it never did
for truth will never vanish
no matter how thick the fog
on a river bank
not too far
from the devon bridge
