Buried in state flags

South of the Dixie line
Flying on Capitol Grounds
South of North Carolina

Hanging high
A recolored One

Red, Black and Green
In an Art Space
South of Houston

For a Remembering of Cries of Color
And a Flag of Treason and Terror

And before this flag
There were many

Lost in a Committee
Lost on the road to defeat

Lost in the imagination of southern
swamps
Of flat Stars,

Of black Blues,
Bloody Reds

And washed out Whites AfroConfederate Battle Flag, 2000, John Sims
For a Remembering of Cries of Color
And a Flag of Treason and Terror
