Wind out of Oklahoma this morning
smelled like blood and smoke
And the crows discussed 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 where the bad people go
And will I do with you, pink and blue
True gold, nine days old
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

Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Her tears fell on her pages
Found me well on her words
I don't know what to do or say
Wading through warm canals and pools clear blue
The Tuscarawas flowed into the Great Lakes
Riding back where the highway met dead tracks
The ground is now cement and glass, so far away
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Green, green youth: what about the sweetness we knew?
What about what's good, what's true from those days?
(Can't count to all the lovers I've burnt through
So why do I still burn for you? I can't say
Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days) BEST VERSE EVER
Children blessed, gather 'round the home she rests
So pull and go over there Midwest, moon and sun
Flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightning storm
The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm on my face
Gray, vague dreams, a million miles ago, you seem
A star that I just don't see anymore
Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices are heard along the way
(Sorry for never going by your door
Never feeling love like that anymore) ahhhh

Through sparrow black wind
A dead crow calls out to his wing
We were lightning across the whole world
We were lightning
We were lightning
We were lightning
And the guise to black cats we made a cross when our shadows met
And the guise to black cats we made a pact when our shadows passed
Through sparrow black wind
A dead crow calls out to its wings
I'm getting weaker I'm getting thin
I hate how obvious I have been
I'm getting weaker
I'm getting weaker
I'm getting weaker
I'm getting weaker
And I look down and see the whole world
And it's fading And it’s FADINNNNG

I feel like a fool, yeah
Walking downhill with the dogs
You keep it cool
Watching my fire ignite
Heart out of site
Body and mind fistfight
Heart out of sight
Body like a bat in flight

Hard to get a good night’s sleep when you have to wake up before the sun but when I actually abide by my bedtime I feel like this

they’re all dressed up doing a very exaggerated gender performance where they walk the runway and pose and also hand-to-hand combat is homoerotic
