Red is a grave I'm not waiting to see the otherside of,not willing to weapon my peace lilies for.

当他们来抓我时（重唱）

为了代替摘要，下面是内容的简要摘录：& 当他们来找我（重唱）金色（生平）木兰花母亲，猫头鹰眼睛的女孩，忘忧草同伴，让我们把神袍收集到金色的绞刑架下。我们来到了永远的梦幻之地，我已记不清我们用什么武器赢得了这场战争：为了秘书的性爱？某个背地里的兄弟？一些忘记了我们心中梦想的儿子叔叔爷爷？一首牛血之歌？如果你只想成为新鲜的空气，那就叫它天堂吧。姐妹们，如果你不曾在风中飘荡的蜜糖中，在热浪中煎熬的鱼儿中，快乐地度过夏天，那就叫它地狱吧，休息吧。让我们回到蓝色的倒转海洋，说我是从伯利恒和贝特尔升起的，就像母狗和硫磺的翅膀。我希望自己能像我的表亲们一样，在某个十年里成为被肥胖裹挟的女人，成为孩子。如果不是在此之前，就在这里。是什么暴力把我们带到这里？红色是一座坟墓，我不等着看到它的另一面，也不愿意为它献出我的和平百合。现在，我唯一记得的是，曾经我是一个热量，一首歌，一个笑着的姐姐，一个来自黑鬼的海岸线，他们的鬃毛上有太阳。银河系里没有足够的湿肩膀来解释我有多爱我努力成为可能的每一天，& 是。荣耀，荣耀你可曾说过 "回家"，并在那里停留了几个世纪？你可曾说过和平& 知道一个国家不会随和平而来？[金色黄金（他们/她们）是一名黑人无性别变性摄影师、诗人和社区组织者。他们著有《一个学会如何生活的死名字》和摄影系列《学会如何生活》，记录了黑人变性人在美国生存和生活的交汇点上的生活。他们的混合诗歌和摄影集《重现》将于 2025 年出版。版权所有 © 2024 美国南方研究中心 ...

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
