The Weary Blues (2015) - Plot & Excerpts

The sunny-faced South,     Beast-strong,     Idiot-brained.
The child-minded South Scratching in the dead fire’s ashes For a Negro’s bones.
    Cotton and the moon,     Warmth, earth, warmth,     The sky, the sun, the stars,     The magnolia-scented South.
Beautiful, like a woman, Seductive as a dark-eyed whore,     Passionate, cruel,     Honey-lipped, syphilitic—     That is the South.
And I, who am black, would love her But she spits in my face.
And I, who am black, Would give her many rare gifts But she turns her back upon me.
