The Flags: A View From Austin Music Festival

Rating: ★4.0

Autoplay

And then the flags were raised
Blades of grass catching the wind.
And we gathered underneath, each
A yeoman beneath his standard.

Standing together now,
Muddy ranks squared
Against a wall
Of sound.

Ears catching chords
Mouths sounding words.
