Description:

The American South is unbelievably haunted We have fossils of creatures that evolved before teeth Buried under ancient civilizations Buried under the genocide committed against them Buried under the graves of slaves  Buried under rotting plantations Buried under Civil War soldiers Buried under trapped miners Buried under bullet-riddled labor unionists  Buried under rusting “Whites Only” signs We have skeletons from top to bottom  It’s a trunk in the attic with layers of  Black-bordered letters and church programs  And locks of hair And it’s all topped off with a kudzu-choked roadside billboard asking “Where will YOU spend eternity?”
