P. 19
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,
AfroConfederate Battle Flag, 2000 created John Sims
Bloody Reds
And washed out Whites
For a Remembering of Cries of Color
And a Flag of Treason and Terror
