 X2
 Wind  out of Oklahoma  this morning
Smelled  like blood  an smoke
 And the crows discuss  their future  in the
branches  of their Louisiana  Live  Oak
 The limbs  are strong  and heavy  and its
 Leaves  are all aglow
And  the branches brush  the upper  air
 But the roots  reach down to were the bad  people go
 And what  will I do with you,  pink and blue?
True  gold.
Nine  days old.
 X3
Nice  new clothes  on you
 And an old  cardboard  produce box  for a cradle
 I mashed  some bananas  in a coffee  cup
 And I fed  you there at the kitchen  table
 Crows  outside complaining about  the
Finer points  of local politics
 Strange  wind all full  of new smells
Rust  and fur and reception sticks
 And what  will I do with you,  pink and blue?
True  gold.
Nine  days old.
