Stars and Bars

The red bars of Austria meet
The white stars of the southern plains
In cycle
In circle

In the northeastern parts of blue
Each star for each state of the Confederate mind
7, 9, 11, and 13
South Carolina,

Mississippi,
Florida,
Alabama,
Georgia,

Louisiana,
Texas
Then Virginia and Arkansas
Then North Carolina and Tennessee

Then Missouri and Kentucky
7, 9, 11 and 13
A sequence of confederate convergence.
